I think there is a virus tagged to clublexus.
Yep! That's the bull**** I got too. Thank you for posting how you fixed it. I will try this when I get home tonight.

Excuse my ignorance, but what happens when you come to this site? Is my computer going to get infected and what not? Password and username gets stolen? I am on a Mac...

Guess no one knows until it's figured out what kind of virus/malware it is right...

apparently //drm.kz/l is a malicious url - its a phishing url to be precise
and its been noticed on clublexus.com/forums, this is why google is blocking it
its pretty old so people who did this didnt know about it or are just plain amateurs.
if you also noticed you can get to clublexus.com without problems
so its probably one of CL ads that has this url hidden under,

your tech guys should be able to fig this one out no doubt

Thank you for the update. I used ipad for my post below and I saw no complaints using Safri.

Explorer is not complaining.

I checked the details on fire-fox and that came back clean.

In any case, it is being looked into.

You're welcome!

And, I've noticed that too, the warning isn't coming up on the mobile site only the desktop version.

Hopefully the issue is resolved soon.

Default Club Lexus Issue

Connecting To club Lexus with your PC using Firefox or or explorer Right now can be challenging and maybe even risky. I'm Using Safari on my iPad and it seems to be working okay. Until it's fixed I can't advise using your PC to connect. I hear the mobile app has not been affected but that's hearsay. Stay tuned but safe until we get it fixed. IB knows about it and is working on it.
