Something wrong with Realm667.

If you're talking about the malware, the site has been clean for three weeks now, according to Google.

Google says that the site may damage my pc, how can that be true? Forget Realm667!

Well, you certainly are a pleasant person.

I gave up on that poor site

And there was much rejoicing.

And nothing of value was lost.

The site's currently clean and the odd bit of malware that does sneak in shouldn't be a problem if you take a few commonsense precautions.

Google Chrome from computer still warns me about forum.realm667.com, so I'm not logging in there and thus no HPack contribution for now :(

Such warning messages can cause user panic, I guess Tormentor667 should do something for that like request a review on his site with their webmaster tools. Unless the site still not totally clean.

Apparently, the site has to be clean for at least 3 months after the last infection before they consider it to be safe for browsing again - Hence, one still gets the warning message. It's not because the site's currently infected.

Better I wait three months to make sure the perpetrator doesn't return

That's a joke, right? Right!?

Have you considered sandboxing your browser?

No. I didn't know of such a feature. Can I have it on all the time or is it inconvenient? And, well, the guy returned after realm667 thought they were over.

There's a sandbox for Chrome but I'm under the impression it has to be compiled from source. The others I've seen are all third-party solutions, such as the plugin-based sandbox from Spoon.net

I tried to register in the website (I tried my forums login, which I haven't used for almost two years, but no luck), but my anti-virus (Karpersky 2013 or something like that) stopped the URL from loading, warning me that it is a phishing URL. It that true?

I'm using Google Chrome on OS X. Currently it's very hard to click the links on the header (first line — "BOARD INDEX", "SEARCH" …). Sometimes I get the finger cursor, often I just get the arrow and can't click the link. Is it just me?

More specifically: if I go to the left of "PANEL" from "CONTROL PANEL" until the left edge of the webpage, I cannot access any of the top links.

It should be clean now as far as I know. But the various anti-virus might need varying amounts of time before they'll trust the site again.

For reasons that probably have to do with dark CSS voodoo, the active zone on the top bar is restricted to something like 800 pixels, centered. No, I do not understand how it is possible, or why it happens, or how could anyone think it would be a good idea to add such a feature somewhere in the CSS specs.

Anyway, if you visit the forums from the homepage (through this link), they should all work because the layout gets put in a fixed-width form.

Note that I don't understand exactly what makes it happen technically. I've looked at the HTML and CSS involved, but am still dumbfounded by the issue.

Tried register on there, totally works fine on my end. My Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 do nothing at all.

It looks like safe now but still be caution on there.
