SECURITY WARNING – Update your virus scanners!
Hey, guys. We’ve got reports of Google throwing up security errors when trying to visit SavyGamer. This may simply be Google warning us about the malicious redirection we had a few days ago (which has since been fixed), or it may be something more serious. When Lewie gets back he’ll investigate and get it sorted. Sorry for any problems this might cause.
In the mean time, I suggest running a virus scan immediately, just in case there’s any problems. If you don’t have a safety suite, I recommend either Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG – both good free protection.
Yeah, I’m getting Avast! throwing up warnings about HTML:iframe-inf which sounds like it could easily be a false positive, or at least something only mildly malicious. Ironically it popped up again on this post.
For what its worth, my logs:

Not sure what the infection attempts to do to visitors, possibly just intrusive ads, or attempting to perform some kind of code injection with the exploit of the moment.
Avast wa also blocking a malicious script that was being downloaded.
It seems to have gone now though.
Same with Nod32 although my mobile is still blocking the site.
That reminds me, didn’t there used to be a SavyGamer mobile site as well?
