I use Firefox as browser and its malware and phishing warning system went wild when I tried to check Alphaluna.net galleries. According to additional information it tells, google's indexing bot was doing its job in alphaluna.net about a week ago and noticed that gallery tried to install malware 3 times out of 5 checks.
If this is correct, then someone apparently hacked gallery and changed it to try to install malware to every computer checking galleries. Could you check this, please?
Gallery infected with malware?

LoboLeo has been notified, by myself if no-one else almost three weeks ago.
Trouble is, he lives in South America, and possibly the security on the servers isn't as tight as it should be. SPAM and Malware only need to get past the weakest barriers to get into the system, and then they're there: inside the shields.
Contact him on his AL site here, and on the LiveJournal presence he maintains as well (off the comic page). Howl to him, and he'll clear his system.
What worries me is that maybe somebody in his family or similar is doing this; from his own computer. This is the second time this has happened, so far as I know of.
