Regarding Raw Charge / SB Nation site issues
In recent weeks, we've been made aware of a malicious pop-up ad appearing across the SB Nation network. Though we haven't been made aware if this is happening or has happened on RawCharge.com, I did want to inform the community about the problem.
The pop-up in question appears to be a virus warning, and prompts you to download software. The software itself is malicious and will do harm to your computer if downloaded.
The product team - the tech guys behind SB Nation and all sites on the network (including Raw Charge) - recommends you to do if you encounter the pop-up in question: First, close your browser and don't click on anything. Then, follow this procedure:
Send as detailed a report as possible to support@sbnation.com and include screen shots of everything abnormal you have seen. In your email include answers to the following questions:
- - What browser/OS are you using?
- - What site were you on?
- - What page were you on?
- - When day did you first see this?
- - How many times have you seen it since?
- - Has it happened on any other sites? Which ones?
- - Did you click on anything after it redirected you to the virus scan screen?
Also, the product team would like to do a "screen share" session with you if this has happened to you; in your email let them know a time when you would be available to have such a session with them. The product team here has been working on eradicating this problem, and you can help.
Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the heads-up..
Will keep a look-out for sure.. Haven’t seen anything about this over at Winging it in Motown, so far. I’m sure theyre aware, maybe just haven’t posted anything yet.
As usual… GO BOLTS/WINGS!!! …Taking down their divisions one team at a time!!

They’re aware of the problem. The whole network is aware. Not everyone is experiencing the problem though.

Happened to me
Durnig my trip to Norfolk, the malicious page popped up (rather, too the place of the Raw Charge page) pretty much every time I tried to stop by Raw Charge. Thankfully, the network guys had good filters in place and I never saw anything but a blank page.
This waws via the iPad, MT?
