I've submitted a rescan request to Sophos, for all the good that's likely to do.

As far as your request, I didn't see the original post, and I haven't recieved an e-mail from you since you asked me to remove your real name from the HoF several years ago (which I did). I'm not a believer in the EU's "right to be forgotten," but I'll de-link the posts.

It's not a browser, it's the malware/antivirus software on my computer - Sophos. It's stating the entirety of Slidersweb is infected by something called Mal/HTMLGen-A:

It could be nothing, it could be something. If nothing's changed in 3+ years, you're probably fine - but my work PC blocks it as either malicious or compromised. Not gonna chance it.

And, since I've got you on the blower, can you take a look at my request here?

After 15 years, I'm ready to shed my participation in the BBoard Hall of Fame. Doubly so if it's harming computers.

I have all of the Slidersweb content backed up. I compared my backup to the current site files and nothing has changed since 2012 (dynamic content, I know). All of the files I have backed up have been scanned repeatedly by multiple anti-malware and anti-virus programs. If there's something malicious, it's a file that's hosted on an outside server. Which browser reported the issue?

Good to know, but sad to hear. Thanks Matt.

Well, there's always the archived version?

I kind of wish I could hang out with Blinker. I think we live in the same town.

In case you were thinking about revisiting the Story Cave or looking at Blinker's hundreds of screen grabs of Jerry O'Connell looking baked out of his gourd, beware: Gate Haven is infected with malware and/or virii.

That means if you go here:

You have a chance of seeing a warning from your antivirus software that Mal/HTML-Gen-A has infected a number of the pictures on the site. I hope it gets cleared up, although with Blinker having fled permanently to the warm, sunny climes of Canada, that may not be a possibility.
