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.

    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

    • I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
    • Thanks for the tip. I am giving it a try. Initial quick impression: I like it.
    • Welcome to Neowin. Enjoy your time here!
