FAO NEAL: Reported Attack Site? Anyone else getting this too?

ajrimmer42 · 10-18-10, 01:32 PM

Using Firefox as I always do, I've just clicked to come onto Subsim tonight and have been greeted by this:

Is anyone else getting it?

I can click 'ignore' in the bottom right corner to continue browsing but whenever I click a link it comes up again. Upon clicking 'Why was this page blocked', this comes up:

To stop it all I have to do is change my security settings in FF options, but I thought Neal probably ought to know.

My immediate instinct was that this was some sort of malware but it appears to be legit Google stuff, after a bit of searching.

CaptainMattJ. · 10-18-10, 01:34 PM

Molon Labe · 10-18-10, 01:34 PM

Yes, me too, and it's preventing me from posting with Firefox.

Google tests different sites as the diagnostic thingy says.

Oh and yes, having the same problem here. Flagging + not able to post using Firefox.

I believe Firefox automatically uses Google's data for identifying suspicious or infected sites.

I disabled the suspicious site blocking for now, and I can post just fine.

Same here with Chrome.

Yeah, I had it, got rid of it via Options/Security/'Block reported sites' off.
Not the first time I've seen a site get wrongly blocked, but that's the age we live in I guess.

I think it's the GT forum.

Glad it's not just me

HunterICX · 10-18-10, 02:03 PM

My Avast Internet Security stays quiet though.
