When I goto Corvetteforum C5 general, I often get an unwanted screen asking me to update Flash Player. URL displayed is: toptypeonlinetheclicks.icu

This is a known malware distribution site, per Google search. Somehow, it's started by either the forum software or an ad running on the forum. Does not happen when I visit any other site.

I too have been getting the update Flash Player the last 4 or 5 days, on a Mac. Also getting a blank screen that says in upper left corner, this site is using too much memory.

I have been getting it also, for several days now. I only get it here! iMac using Safari.

Same here. iMac with Safari and uBlock. So it is getting past the blockers.

I haven't had any problem today, so far? Thanks!

Too much memory used warning may mean you have a malware process running. As a start, go to Force Quit and see if anything unexpected is running.

It seems to occur to me whe I first go to a site Forum - I've just had it happen twice, once when I went to C5 General and just now when I came to this forum. I always kill Safari and restart.
Think I'll stay away from here for a while - don't want to pick up anything nasty.

Edit: just checked - there was something called "printer proxy" running. Killed it. And removed the cookies and cache these people dumped on me.
