Seeing how Google is the #1 problem we have with spammer email here, they should clean themselves up first.

I've asked the IT security team to do another sweep.

Subsim forum access denied by Google as unsafe!
 

Hi, for some reason I can't access any subsim forums whilst using firefox, I am currently using IE, this is the warning:

Seems like a virus to me that has effected firefox though all other sites seem to be ok!:hmmm:

Already noted on the GT board... :03:

Neal is working on it.

At least four times, and at least once in other forums. :sunny:

Whew!!:oops::doh: That's a relief, I thought I had a virus, thanks all!!:yeah:

Seems to be only FF on my system, IE works fine, maybe that's just a setting though!:hmmm:

It is a setting on the Security tab: 'Block reported attack sites'

I unchecked that and haven't had any problems at all with this site. Pretty sure the AV and/or firewall would have thrown a red flag at me but nothing happened there, so I'm trusting that it's just that Subsim is on Google's "Badware" list.

:salute:

This was really messing with me today until i finally said the hell with it and clicked ignore and checked this message. Like Krashkart said i'm sure my AV would have detected if something was really wrong.

Anyway, Glad to be back and i hope this gets straightened out so other users are not kept away because of it. Stupid Google! :down:

The appropriate comment for google . . . .

No point in blaming google. We had few people getting actual trojans not too long ago (check the "java problems and more" thread at Comments to Subsim Review forum), that's probably the reason SS is now flagged.

I had to reset my security settings on Firefox to get here, but as a precaution ran a anti-spyware check. All is well as my firewall/AV software picked up nothing.

Turn it off, and all will be well.

I wonder if Reported Attack Sites just means that someone, perhaps a disgruntled former poster, is trying to cause trouble?

Don't think so, since it's apparently based on data Google collected themselves.

It probably is. And the original problem was with the Google ads on thie site, so it's ironic that Google caused the problem and then reported it.

This is what I get, using Google Chrome browser

Yesterday I was having just a warning advice when I connected to subsim, but since this morning it has increased to 2 advices each time I try to acces. Getting worse? :hmmm:
