DON'T PANIC -- Regarding "Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!"
We have managed to identify the 3rd party, who is well known to be trusted, as the source of the script. They have been contacted about the compromise, and have removed the malicious script being served to not only Curse, but possibly everyone with whom they work. They are still investigating the breach.
Curse takes security extremely seriously, and has removed all 3rd party ad partners until the investigation is complete. We will keep you informed of the outcome of this investigation. In the meantime, we recommend you run a malware scan on your computer. You can run a free scan at http://www.malwarebytes.org/. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.
At no time was any information in our databases compromised - your logins, user info, and all other personal information is safe and sound! We will continue to monitor the situation, just to be on the safe side.
Love my NoScript!
If you use NoScript correctly, it will only load .js scripts (and .pdfs, and video, and other stuff) from specific sites or domains you give permission to, so it will not run the .js served from the malicious site. If you are lazy and just do "temporarily allow all this page" or you select sites without paying attention to whether they make sense, you could end up enabling a malicious script. But it's all under your control. If a malware author is actually able to infect the ad company or Curse itself, then NoScript probably won't help. But in a case like this where the malware was being served from a 4th party, NoScript does the job.
i use google crome and i have scriptno
They already resolved the problem temporarily (that is what I understand at least.)
I am glad I has Ad-Block

adblock won't do it. try noscript.
Even with adblock, it still appear for you.
An advertising 3rd party, a business that is trusted within advertising that we have had a positive relationship with for many years, but not one that any user here will recognise the name of because most advertising companies are unknown outside of advertising circles
My friend unkowingly somehow got a "ArcadeWeb" installed which kept taking over youtube and replacing it with it's own ads.
