So I clicked the link to Pokemon Treasures, but my computer prevented me from doing so. It said that it was an attack site and could harm my computer.

I suggest you guys remove the link so that other people's computers won't get infected.

It seems to be true. Here is the Google Diagnostic page of the site.

never been there ebfore, but all I know is that looks very real and a message needs to be sent out to every site whom it sponsors somehow. Places like TCoD or Psypokes. Probably not by us.

Yep, it says it has given malicious software in the past 90 days.

We know the folks behind Pokémon Treasures and I'm 99% sure this isn't their fault...another page I visit every so often had a malware scare exactly like this and it turned out to be the fault of a third-party advertiser serving a malicious ad. Once that was determined, the problem was solved very quickly. Hopefully the same will be true here.

That's what it says. "5 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent." It's also listed as a possibility on the page.

Further enhancing my point. There weren't even registered members who were trying to add the software.

No, Flarsy, it means that files are getting downloaded into the computers of people looking at the site without their consent, it's nothing to do with people on the site.
