Alert: XTube - potential malware

I use Trend Micro Internet Security and I've noticed for a while that XTube has three sections on the page that it identifies as dangerous. This occurs regardless of whether I use Internet Explorer or Firefox. I don't think I've picked up anything nasty but others may not be so lucky. I'll contact their support and see if there's anything they can do about it.

See screenshot below.

Also, Solotouch.com is having simiar issues but their whole site is blocked. This happened a few weeks ago and got fixed but now it's on the fritz again.

Does it give you info on what the danger is? Xtube is always tweaking things (which is why so much of it doesn't work right so much of the time). Some alert systems will flag things as cross-scripting that are totally harmless.

Unfortunately it does not. An I haven't heard anything from their support yet. I kind of doubt I will. While my A/V software should protect me, I worry about others that do not have it.

Granted, if you visit adult websites you should always have good anti-virus software (at least if you're using Windows). There's a bunch of extra crap that some websites try to put on your machine when you go to some of them.
