I checked out that link, it does not own any url redirects that are anywhere close to webdiplomacy.net. It's hosted in Germany, and is not a site I would visit. I'd highly recommend having your computer checked for viruses. https://www.malwarebytes.com/ if you're on a computer, no idea if you're on a phone.

The site can't click a link. Please take care of your computer or any device of yours that has been told by you to follow that link. That's how you get that malware.

If we get reports of any page on the site redirecting people to a malicious site or anywhere other than the intended page, we'll take them seriously. If that is actually happening to you, we need to know. You should email the moderators about it. If we get corroborating reports from others that are experiencing the same thing, then yeah, we have an issue to deal with. We've never gotten anything like that.

I've found the answer.

I'm surprised you didn't.

See at the bottom of the forum screen where it says "Style based on forum tricolor" ??

It's not a malicious link it's just the site where Kestas got the Forum style templates. Lel. I must have let my fat thumbs accidentally click the link.

Recently, a mobile version of the application is also available on Play Store. The main functions are protection against phishing, adware and fraudulent software, removal of viruses, trojans.
