Cyprus Mail site has Malware?

Postby Canuck » 22 Sep 2012 10:37

Google Chrome is warning me (right now) that www.cyprus-mail.com contains Malware! I tried several times it repeats the warning.

I got it too on Firefox and Chrome.

I've screenshotted (is that a real word?) it and sent it to the Cyprus Mail's twitter account.

The Twitter ID for the Cyprus Mail is: @cyprusmail

I still get the warning when I try to visit http://www.cyprus-mail.com with Google Chrome (I've emptied my browsing cache and scanned my computer for viruses). And I don't see any reaction from them on Twitter.

Me too even after following their instructions!
So until it's fixed - I'm staying off it....

Tried all what they suggested.

It doesn't work on my home pc nor on my works laptop.

Only IE doesn't show the Malware warning and we all know how crap IE is!

I read somewhere else (I do wish people would post in the right section) that the problem is due to a dodgy ad on the site, and that will be fixed.

Without resorting to pantomime :oops: 'oh yes it did' etc, it worked fine on my PC on three browsers on Tuesday.
My AV is Avast

Don't know why yours was still reporting a problem :-s
