aUsernameIsFineToo:
It looks like they got hacked :(

Confirmed safe on Android smartphone. Haven't seen any APK droppers. Windows users beware.

You can download replays with your phone and transfer via USB or Bluetooth. For the truly paranoid, use virustotal.
Nietz:
Well, damn. This is news for me, actually. I've checked and Avast still rates the site as safe, and I've seen no sign of malicious files in the server archive for doujinshi files (which is the only one I have access to).
But I've been trying to contact Halbarad/Yukari-sama (the admin) for over a year now regarding several problems with the site, but he's given no sign of life.
Since I don't have admin privileges myself, there's not much more I can do at the moment, except keep trying to contact him.  :(
CyberAngel:
My NOD doesn't say anything. Neither about site, nor about patch exe. You should take Norton's information with a grain whole ton of salt, it's notorious for its false positives.

Actually I'm vaguely aware of how the patch works, and the process CAN be mistaken for how trojans work. The catch is that thpatch works exactly the same, and triggered antiviruses as well.

It's very possible it's a false positive, yes - it probably wouldn't be an issue if the admin wasn't MIA and could deal with it as soon as the positives from Norton came up. But considering we have no way of knowing whether or not it's a false positive, it warrants at least some wariness.
Tengukami:
I'm wondering if the site itself getting these red flags isn't the result of someone reporting it as malicious to Google or something. I've seen it happen to a couple sites before anyway.
