FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Last days I got this message clicking on some posts:

Google has found malicious software may be installed on your computer. It warned that freeimagehosting.net has (probaly) been compromised by a hacker.

People using this uploader might consider temporarily not using it or using another one until the problems are solved.

edit: It doesn't mean it is already installed, but gives you the choice to proceed or go back :-)

Unless the site is making you download software, or anything else, this is most definitely fake. Although Hackers, do place adverts in sites such as these, so when it says download twice, one is from the ad and downloads a virus and the other isn't and actually downloads the right thing.

How can google know you're on this site ?
Or maybe you are using chrome...

Anyway, anything with "free" in the domain name tends to be malicious, most of the time. ;)

Actually, it's google blacklisting freeimagehosting.net.
If your posts contains [ img ] tags that point to an image on that site, you get this warning when you open the topic.
If you ask me, from experience, I wouldn't use a website/service whose name contains "free" or some such thing in it, and I see Calinou shares this point of view. (of course there are exceptions for now well-known open source software like FreeCiv).
