My antivirus has sounded an alarm when I visited the below thread.

Talk Less, Do More... | Page 43

In the recent goof up on PDF, so many users were concerned about the safety issues. These type of viruses on this site may make matters worse. Request mods/admins to take action in the best interests of PDF.

It's problem on your side. You are entering some kind of sites or downloading files that are giving you viruses.

I am on mobile and only seeing many photos. No virus mate. Maybe your web browser or add on that came with Adobe download.

Dude...I'm a software developer. I can identify threats if they are file system or web resource. The alert which I have got is a web resource threat. This has nothing to do with my downloads. The images which you are seeing on that link are just that...images. But the url which was used to post that link contains a malware. Which means...the photo has been embedded with a virus...maybe intentionally or maybe not. So, in the best interests of the safety of other users, I have reported. Lets see what admins decide.

Yes...but why take chances. Admins should delete such content asap. Imagine PDF with tons of virus containing external links. It's better to report as soon as we spot it to keep this site clean.
