Warning - Possible C-Brats Homepage Virus

Desert Dory

Hi All,
I'm wondering, is anybody getting a virus warning from the C-Brats home page? I normally visit the site from my desktop machine and go directly to the forum page where I'm automatically logged on. Today I'm sitting on my couch using my son's laptop and decide to visit and just type in C-Brats.com which takes me to the home page. When doing so I got the attached message from my Avast anti-virus.

I'm thinking the home page may be infected because I also get the warning each time I click the "Gimme another random C-Brat" link or refresh the page.

The forum and other pages seem fine.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up.

That is not due to this site I bet. At another site your son downloaded something and with it installed a malware program in his computer. It then takes over your pages. changes your home page and makes you think you need to do something. I would be very surprised it Avast has fixed anything. I bet it is still there and will happen again.

Hmmmm, I'm not so sure about that. I've tried several random pages at other sites and get nothing. The only place I get the warning is the C-Brats home page.

I'll run MalwareBytes on his laptop and see if it comes up with anything.

Edit: Well, you may be right. I just tried the home page from my desktop machine and had no issues. I'll let you know what MalwareBytes finds when I run it.

Thanks.
