  When I try to log into mythfighter.com via Chrome, I get a message saying “Danger, Malware Ahead. Content from history.org, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. “

  However, when I check Chrome, it says history.org is not a malware distributor.

  Do you have any idea what is going on?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Now Chrome says history.org IS a malware distributor. How do I get it off my wordpress blog site?

  Hi r3odge3r,

  These warnings are generated by Google Chrome, not WordPress.com. They almost always occur because you have hotlinked an image or other content from a site that Google has determined is hosting malware. In the case of history.org, they may have done the same thing.

  You should check all of your images and links for history.org files.

  Thanks Jackie,

  Mysteriously as when it arrived, the warning now has disappeared. But I do appreciate your help. If it comes back, I’ll know what to do.

  Thanks again.

  You’re very welcome. It’s possible folks at history.org caught the problem and fixed it.
