I just got a message from the anti-virus on my router that a post on DU contained malware [View all]

Hi all-

Normally I am just a lurker but I am compelled to post. This morning while attempting to open a post I got a message from my router advising the post contained malware. It was a post about the leader of the proud boys being arrested. This is the first time the malware protection on my TpLink has ever done this. I exited back to the latest post list and tried to reopen the post and got the same message.

I don't know how to report this but I suspect someone needs to run a scan on the server.

Thanks,

Hutchewon
