I'm getting this too from my anti virus (Eset) on my Laptop. I did a full removal of my firefox browser software early today, followed by a full antivirus scan.. because I thought I'd somehow got a trojan.
But after a clean scan and a fresh Firefox install, I was still getting the same error afterwards. So I tried on my tablet and got the same antivirus warning.

No idea what or where that url is coming from [qbhomu.github.io etc] but it's only giving me this warning on UpTheClarets.. no where else.
It pops whenever I hit refresh on a page, or move from the main site to the message board etc.

I have Eset and am getting exactly the same. No idea what to do about it.

Just make sure to keep selecting 'disconnect'
Apparently if you click 'ignore' it will ignore the warning and allow the website.

I searched Eset help forums yesterday.


I'm still getting the constant warning today, again only on UpTheClarets.

Not seen it myself although I only use my IPhone, have you mailed the admins? They may not look at this if they don’t know

I've done some security updates that may have stopped this. Next step is a php and wordpress upgrade which could mean some serious updates to the site. I'll have to plan that for a quiet news day and be prepared to reinstall all out custom code which will get wiped out by the upgrade.

Is anybody still getting this?

No probs on Chrome (I use Malwarebytes on both the Phone and computer and also have Macafee antivirus) occasinally it says "have blocked some website or other access etc" in a drop down box but I just ignore it.

Never had this problem at all (touch wood)

Is it still happening? I've made another update that should resolve this.

It's great that people report these, it really helps to resolve the issues when these threads give clear error messages etc. I've accessed the site via AVG and it looks ok to me.

It looks like someone has alerted AVG that our advertising banner is malware. I'll now need to contact AVG and ask them to whitelist us to get this message removed. That's all it is. There is no Malware or trojan. There was an issue before due to an outdated wordpress plugin that someone had hacked but that's no longer there.

As I said yesterday, we are waiting for avast to whitelist utcmedia.co.uk. At the moment it thinks that our advert code is malware.
If the message you are getting is something other than that please can you share the message.
