Hello,
I have been having issues regarding security in the gallery, here're screenshots. One of them is from the forum but I got the same warning bar in the gallery too but I dont have screenshot of it yet.

Also, Google have just sent me an e-mail;

QuoteWe recently discovered that some of your pages can cause users to be infected with malicious software. We have begun showing a warning page to users who visit these pages by clicking a search result on Google.com.

Below are some example URLs on your site which can cause users to be infected (space inserted to prevent accidental clicking in case your mail client auto-links URLs):

http://www.mariahturkiye .net/galeri/displayimage.php?album=471&pos=1
http://www.mariahturkiye .net/galeri/displayimage.php?album=471&pos=2
http://www.mariahturkiye .net/galeri/displayimage.php?album=471&pos=4

Here is a link to a sample warning page:
http://www.google.com/interstitial?url=http%3A//www.mariahturkiye.net/galeri/displayimage.php%3Falbum%3D471%26pos%3D1

We strongly encourage you to investigate this immediately to protect your visitors. Although some sites intentionally distribute malicious software, in many cases the webmaster is unaware because:

1) the site was compromised
2) the site doesn't monitor for malicious user-contributed content
3) the site displays content from an ad network that has a malicious advertiser


If your site was compromised, it's important to not only remove the malicious (and usually hidden) content from your pages, but to also identify and fix the vulnerability. We suggest contacting your hosting provider if you are unsure of how to proceed. StopBadware also has a resource page for securing compromised sites:

Do you know what may cause these problems, virus notifications, fake warning bars and malicious software?
I'd be glad if anyone can help. Thanks!

Redirected the post to the "permissions" section. If you did not update your site regularly then you are most likely hacked.

Read this thread: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,51927.0.html

Read it. Read it again. And follow the steps in that thread to sanitize your gallery and site.
