Yep-- looks like they've picked up a virus somewhere. If you visit the film section at newsarama.com/film (no, we aren't linking) you'll potentially be exposing yourself to viruses and malware. Of the 6 pages Google tested on the site over the past 90 days, 2 pages resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent.

So far, the comics sites are clean.

If their status changes-- in either direction-- we'll let you know.

Yeah, well - the NYTimes site was serving malware recently - via what they thought was a legitimate ad when they took it.

And which, if they checked it out before posting it, was, so far as they could tell, legitimate.
