Maxtower
 

Whenever I open a thread with maxtower, it sets off all of my security software which gives me the message, "The image maxtower.com/penny.jpg is a trojan..."

Apparently I'm not the only one having this problem:

Not sure if this is a real security issue or not, however if it's not it's still something to look into because this guys image is definitely showing up as a trojan. The virus itself is the Trojan-Clicker.HTML.IFRAME.ee

at work, it seems his image isn't getting displayed, like a broken link

Re: Maxtower
 

His image just doesnt show up

Thanks for posting this wooly, I was about to post it myself. It does not show up for me here at work. I am always worrisome of stuff like this because on IRC every trojan/virus was in the form of a .jpg link.

Re: Maxtower
 

Thanks for the information.

I've deleted the image and PMed to ask him not to hotlink, but to rehost - as everyone should do, in any case.

I have changed my avatar. I hope no one got a virus from it. I am not sure what the problem was.
