Member got a Website blocked due to fullScreenLoop

[lordroel]

Do not know what it is but a member of my forum send me this PM:

 I watched most of the Sabaton site video posted earlier today then later on had an internet problem - British Telecom were playing around with the connections!  Since there were some videos I had planned to watch and one I saw off the Sabaton site I went to that again and got the following message.  Thought I would warn you.

Seems he got this message:

Website blocked due to fullScreenLoop

Website blocked: alternate-timelines.com
Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocked this website because it may contain scam activity.
We strongly recommend you do not continue. 

Should i be concern as i now that my forum is not involved in any scam activity.

This is a known issue with Malwarebytes. It's nothing your forum actually did, Browser Guard is just having a fit when the user switches the videos from embedded to full-screen mode.

It's possible that the number of videos on the page could be playing a part in that, but I doubt it. Most likely it's from the user trying to watch the video with an unstable connection.

The "scam" part of the warning comes from the fact that a common scam online is to try to hijack the browser with videos or overlays that make it appear as if the computer is crashing or infected with malware and getting less-than-savvy users to contact the fake customer support numbers provided in the fake error message. Browser Guard is warning the user to not blindly trust what they see on-screen.

This one incident shouldn't impact your forum negatively, but if users continue to experience the issue you'll need to contact Malwarebytes to have your forum reviewed and whitelisted.
