facebook status updates give some info into the malware warning:

We're looking into the issue with the site. At the moment we're not sure what's going on, but it would help if people could comment here and let us know what's happening when they visit the site. Be detailed! We're getting to the bottom of this.
We realize quite a few people are having their browser warn them about malware when visiting Explosm. Has anyone had actual malware forced onto their computer from the site recently, or just the browser alert? This is important to assess what's going on.
UPDATE: It looks like the worst thing happening to anyone is a browser alert. Nobody's reported actual malware so far. We've more or less pinpointed where the problem is coming from, but won't be able to fix it until Matt gets home. We don't know when that will be. Until then, the site appears to be 100% safe to visit but feel free to avoid if you feel safer that way.

Oh, and anyone who is asked to download a PDF called "crybabylike.pdf" from maccrack.ru, just ignore it. I downloaded it just to see what it would do (I like to live life on the edge), and the file itself doesn't exist, so I don't think it's a threat. Sorry about all of this, it seems to have come through via one of our advertisers.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Microsoft Edge comes pre-installed with Windows 11 and it's a great browser, so why not use it? Not everyone is trying to run away from Google, sometimes people just want convenience and less friction.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature

      By Fleet Command · Posted

      No. The file manager is a lost cause. After all, its dev receives all the undeserved praise he could evre wish from Neowin, without having actually earned it. This has never lead to improvements.

      I know I won't ever be using it to make my game. I'd rather pay humans.
