What Is Up With Clicking On Profiles and Getting Malware Warning?

Am I the only one seeing this on some of the people's profiles here, or has someone hacked into myLot and made this happen? I just recently tried accessing dragon54u's profile as they are someone on my Friends list. I can see their page pop up, but then it comes up with a Warning page and malware notice.
Is the myLot admins aware of this, and something they are working on, or is this something I should be reporting and hope it gets fixed from there? Does anyone else get this warning on people's profiles? Very Frustrating indeed.

Since one is able to post html code, it is possible to put some really nasty stuff on a profile (either accidentally or purposely).
I would have thought that mylot would have antivirus and antimalware programs to stop anything bad being let loose. But seeing just what could be done in a recent post, if they didn't have these I would not be at all surprised.

Well you never know and it was not too long after I started this discussion that I noticed the issue was fixed. Which means someone made myLot owners aware of this situation and they were able to fix it. Who knows if it was just a glitch, but it was a little frustrating, but Glad they were on top of it as well.

As I said above, I thought dragon54u was on my friends list but couldn't find her there or on yours. I finally hunted down her profile page but I didn't get that warning. Something funny's obviously going on.

I sent her a pm. She also has a discussion that is three weeks old with no responses. When I try to respond I just get taken back to the same page. Like during the glitch, which it probably was. I have tried to report it to admin, as it would make a good discussion and I wanted to respond, but that just takes me to a blank screen. Very frustrating. I told her about this discussion and what Lamb said and what Ravi said. Hope it really went through.

Hope so, too. We don't need any more glitches.

Thank you, Tina! I did get a PM last night and spent a few hours scanning with different programs. I don't have malware but I did read Lamb's suggestion about the 3rd comment and deleted it. Too bad, I did love to see that e-card! (That's one reason I don't send e-cards)
My profile should be squeaky clean now! If not for you and my other friends I would never have known about this problem so many thanks!
