It wasn't until I installed the latest release of Chrome that I got this warning.

eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

Okay, so I have more good news and more bad news.
The good news is, whatever malware was present on "http://mavmor.in/loop.php" seems to be gone. So anyone visiting dmctalk.org should be safe for the time being since the only thing at that address right now is a blank page. (I even tried hitting it with a referer forged as dmctalk and it still returned a blank page.)
Bad news? It seems the forum is still vulnerable. I don't have access to the server itself so I can't investigate its code, but the installed version of vbulletin does have known injection vulnerabilities and is pretty far out of date.

Not sure how many folks here are running the Ubuntu or Mint flavours of Linux, but if you have Domain Blocker installed, you can simply block mavmor.in and use the forum as usual. You could also edit (gedit) /etc/hosts and assign mavmor.in to 127.0.0.1.

Not really necessary, since mavmor.in has been emptied out.
This has never been a great idea, either. The hosts file is a network management file meant for static mapping of hosts to IPs, and was never meant as a mechanism for blocking malicious sites. Beyond that, doing so only works if you process files before DNS in nsswitch.conf, and not all systems are configured that way. So in reality it might not be doing anything whatsoever.
It's just not a good idea to do this. That's not what the hosts file is for, really.

As a temporary measure I think it would be fine.

If you carb your DeLorean the forum will be fixed.
