Im getting tons of prompts on computers saying that my flash isn't up to date and to update it and it really feels like not a good thing...can you guys see what's up with that? It takes over the whole screen and only on rennlist.

This is continuing to happen all the time. I don't know in detail how this stuff works, but my understanding is that ads can be infected intentionally or through negligence from the advertiser or ad supplier. The remedy is for Rennlist to block the advertiser or the ad supplier, at least temporarily, if you can find which one it is. And really, ads should be completely prohibited from including any Javascript code, which I think is how the malware is delivered. Last resort -- everyone installs an ad blocker (possible revenue loss for Rennlist).

My premium malwarebytes is going crazy when I come to rennlist -
Malwarebytes is flagging the connection domain tracking.cirrusinsight.com in app's category as a trojan???
IP:address 54.235.248.216 port 60135
What is going on with the site?

As of this morning the below comes up every time I hit rennlist from my iPad (not iPhone). Pops up within seconds- the site is completely unusable:

MALWARE on Rennlist?
Att. Administrator:
Often while checking this forum (and the 996 forum) the page switches to a phishing malware site. Something is going on in your servers.
Watch out!

Something is back again. I've gotten several phony alerts in the last day or two while browsing Rennlist forums on my Mac. It has included a fake prompt to install something like Flash or an antivirus. It takes over the browser tab that formerly contained the forum thread.
