I'd like you to know that Norton found some security risks about this site.

Drive-By Downloads (what's this?) Threats found: 3
Here is a complete list:

Threat Name: HTTP Suspicious Executable Image Download Location: http://www.rpgrevolution.com/images/game_titles/229.jpg

Threat Name: HTTP Suspicious Executable Image Download Location: http://www.rpgrevolution.com/images/game_titles/939.jpg

Threat Name: HTTP Suspicious Executable Image Download Location: http://www.rpgrevolution.com/images/game_titles/252.jpg


It isn't a big deal since those links are all 404. However, it would probably be best to check it out and clean/removes those files.

EDIT: I would highly recommend you do not click those links. I get a pop-up from Norton "A recent attempt to attack your computer was blocked." from each link.

Thanks for the heads up. It looks like those images have already been deleted. I recall a similar incident with images giving users this kind of alert but I'm not getting anything on Avast. Norton isn't really the most reliable anti-virus program out there and has been known to falsely label files as threats.

EDIT:: I will consult the staff and we will likely delete these projects. In the meantime, if anybody else gets an alert, link to the page and take a screenshot.

It should be all clear now. Tell us if you get another alert.

It isn't errors. It's notifications about a site via online toolbar.

I still see the same issues but it might not have "updated" yet. I'll check again after a week or so.
