From Wowhead:
We've gotten a number of reports in the last week or so indicating that Imageshack is inadvertently installing malware on user's computers!
While we recognize that this MAY be a false positive, we don't like to tack risks with our users' info, so we are blocking imageshack links on the site. Future imageshack links will be scrambled, and links will not go through!
For those of you who are hosting your images with imageshack, we apologize for the inconvenience. In the meantime, we encourage you to use an alternative image-hosting solution, like imgur, Min.us, or CloudApp.
