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.

The Law Is A Ass #460: Those “For Life” Sentences Are Nonsense
February 24, 2022
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.
I've gotten the same virus TWICE from The Rama in the past two days…I go to the site and my OneCare tells me that the software n.exe is trying to access the net and I tell it no and then my firewall, auto-updates, and virus protection fail, won't re-open and pop-ups start…I had to do a system restore. Done with the site over the computer. Accessed it on my phone and got a message saying there was a problem with it's security certif. Guess I'm onto a new Comics site! :(Biff
I got a malware virus yesterday when checking the site with Trojan.ByteVerify .
