Same here with Mac Safari:
![]() My Home Page (new browser window) is set to Slickdeals.net) so this is not an issue of clicking something. It was merely the act of opening a new window, generating a URL call for slickdeals.net. Last edited by The Doctor; 08-03-2012 at 10:23 AM.. Reason: added additional info. |

ABUSE - Same here
I received the same warning while using Chrome on OSX. Evidently there is something nasty going on @ that domain.http://www.google.com/safebrowsin...views.com/ I submitted an abuse notification through the forum's "contact us." Hopefully someone will read it or see this thread. |

on my desktop i got a big fat red screen that warned me that slickdeals contains material from zappreviews which is known to contain malware. that has never come up b4. signed in on my nephew's old junky laptop.
what's up w/ that? SD Update FYI's-
*groups are gone *you can make your public activity stream private by changing the settings and deleting what's already there *your quotes and posts you repped will be public on the other person's activity stream unless they also make it private.See User Control Panel / Profile Feedback Thread and Site Changes and Revision History Log |

So far it appears that someone is using an ad banner to stuff cookies into our visitor's browsers. It's really hard to track down because the banner may not necessarily say "zappreviews", but simply has an image from there.
If you ever come across this again, please take a screenshot for us, ideally showing us all the banners displayed so we can try to track it down. The personal views and opinions expressed in this post are exactly that and do not necessarily represent an official opinion or stance of Slickdeals and this is a disclaimer in case I say something stupid. In fact, anything I say should not be taken seriously.
Got a suggestion or having problems? Let us know how we're doing in the Site Issues and Suggestions forum. Links: The Official Slickdeals Blog - My Flickr - My LinkedIn [linkedin.com] - Follow me on Twitter: SlickdealsCEO [twitter.com] |

I'm on a Mac, and got this issue an hour or so ago with both Safari and Chrome... but it seems to have stopped.
Note to newbies: "Repping" someone means clicking the link to the right of where it says "Reputation" under their name and agreeing to add to their reputation... we can tell if you said you repped but didn't do it.
