I'm assuming you mean this page: https://gbatemp.net/dynamic/gbatemp-web-chatroom.93/ ?

I'm not getting any malware notifications. Nor does this.

If MSE is the only antivirus you have installed, I recommend you to install a better one. MSE has been last for over a year now.

Just tried it myself and I'm not getting any warning messages at all from my antivirus (ESET Nod32). Are you sure the malware isn't coming from your own computer rather than Mibbit?

Odds are there's malware on your end and is redirecting your browser to malicious sites.

In terms of A/V all of them are pretty much identical when it comes to definitions. By the time one company updates its definitions, the others follow suit. Switching A/V for the most part is pointless. I'd stick with MSE, I have it setup at my workplace and I install it on all client machines. One of the benefits MSE would have over others is Microsoft knows how to integrate software into their OS better than any competitor, so it would have minimal performance impact.

This is strange because I've Malwarebytes and Avast Free too and they don't detect anything also I do not have any problems with redirections. In the GBATemp Chatroom was the first time it happened.

your computer could be infected with malware that sneaks into your web browser plugins or extensions.
I can guarantee you that our shoutbox is perfectly safe.

    I'm doing good, just made my first drink of the day, so better now, Captain and Coke today. I had to cut grass all day, then get my hair cut. I messed with my wifey, she knew I was going to get hair cut, and I went and bought a purple dyed wig, and came home wearing it, she freaked out, thinking I dyed my hair purple, was funny.

    Damn, I haven't been on here in while. My wife and I went on a mushroom trip like 10 years ago. A friend had a PS3TV with the glasses and some racing game. It hit when I was playing the game and I freaked out because I thought I was really driving and crashed.
