I was afraid you would get a lot of reports.
At first I thought it might be a malware issue. Glad it wasn’t.
However, at least one Freeper is under the impression that his/her hair is on fire...
By the way, looks like google is flagging all posts linked to aim.org.

We’re not going to pull these. Google can KMA.

Basically, it’s full of crap. Apparently, they have two issues with FR. One is that a user (a long-time user not a hacker) posted a link to an image that (unknown to him) resides on a site google has registered in their database as a malware site. We’ve pulled the post and notified google. Have no idea when they’ll stop flagging us.
The other is that we have links to aim.org. NSS. Aim is a conservative site. Have no idea how many, but I’m sure we’ve had hundreds or even thousands of links posted to aim.org. We’re not going to pull them.
Why google is apparently randomly flagging unrelated threads on FR I have no idea. Your guess is good as mine.
But it’s not just google Chrome. Any browser that relies on google’s database is doing this.
If you want to stop these erroneous and obnoxious warning messages immediately, you can set a browser option to ignore such warnings. Your virus protection software will catch any real viruses.
Thank you all very much for notifying me. I’ve received dozens and dozens of these already. Sorry, cannot answer each one individually.
Wow. This issue appears to have been around a long time though this is the first time I have come across it.
