Seriously, why hasn't this been patched yet????
I haven't run into this issue on a single thread on this site before...
Doesn't really look good on them...

That happened to me once on an American web design forum, but I got it sorted out on day one.

Malware hit one of my pages yesterday too... seeing it here now. Looks like the European Union might be close to acting on this. 🙂

Hold on... I have AdBlock Plus installed, so I don't even see ads or anything. Can I still catch that virus? Because I definitely saw a warning pop up the other day.

It’s not a virus—I ran a full system scan with the latest*
it isn't a system error. The issue is just these damn ads that somehow still find a way into the European Union.

Chrome is still giving me grief on my end too. I tried getting on through Explorer and just kept hitting a 503 error, but I finally managed to crawl my way onto the Reddit forum. This is taking forever, seriously. Can one of these moderators over at Reddit actually step up and give us a straight answer or even a basic explanation for what's going on here?! 🙄

I got hit by malware without any warning at all 👋
Looks like it might be sorted out now?

There’s already a global notification out there, but I figured I’d just drop it here in this thread too:

Hey everyone,

We wanted to apologize for the technical glitches currently messing with how Reddit is running. The owner and the tech crew are all over it and working hard to get everything back to normal, so we’re hoping things should be smoothed out pretty soon.

Right now, we can confirm that antivirus software is flagging the Reddit site as malicious because one of the ads being served on the platform might be infected. We appreciate you guys sticking with us while we sort this out.

Reddit Admin

I mean, honestly, it’s in everyone's best interest if we get this fixed ASAP.🙂

The issue had been hanging around since Friday morning... honestly, it took way too long to actually get things sorted out

I ended up downloading a police malware strain because I completely ignored the warning: *facepalms hard*

What on earth is a "police virus"? 🤷

It looks like I'm getting flagged again; my browser keeps insisting the page is infected and won't let me through at all 😳

What exactly is it flagging? Is it the antivirus, or just the browser giving you grief?
