when techkings got hacked last year, a similar thing came up, so maybe they have been hacked, or maybe someone put some malicious software on it??
 
ive not been on there for a few weeks now, i get the same message as well, like wheelo said may have been hacked or just some malicious software
 
Many apologies for the issues with the Techwatch forums today (10/05/2010) - the site has sustained a serious malware attack and it's proving difficult to remove everything in good time. Everytime it looks as though I've removed one exploit, another one appears. As my own business PC has already become infected trying to tackle this (thanks, McAffee!) I think it's unfair to keep the TW forums online while they risk infecting member machines. I'm going to be working on repairing the site tonight and tomorrow morning, after which I hope to get everything up and running clean again. In the meantime, many thanks for your patience - Brian
