the owner of a blacklisted website by Google can request a review to remove the site from the list

More than likely. Subsim was flagged from a scan that was performed in the last ninety days. No specifics are given as to when the scan was performed or how long it took for those results to filter down to the Badware site that Firefox users are being redirected to.

Kinda frustrating knowing that this site is superb and yet ended up on a list. (Imma fanboy, so sue me :P) Out of curiosity I visited the forums in IE, which has a website inspector plugin from CA installed, and it's not blacklisted in the results they're using. So at least there's that bit of good news. :)

Kept getting it on my Firefox too.:damn:SoI said to myself "Ahh screw it!"and had it uninstalled until they(firefox,Google) fix this little screw-up.Til then,I'm usung Explorer.

You can just disable it in Firefox's settings...

...and I am still yet to get any warnings. I'm almost disappointed, like I'm missing out on something :stare:

FYI - Google Chrome shows the following message. This just started happening today for me and only when I attempt to access any of the forums.

Finally I got in ... through Spikes back door link

FF is so much better than IE I hope this is just temporary.

Yes, I went to FF security to see what I could do even though I hate having to read everything a copy writer writes just to solve a problem.

I feel sorry for new people being turned away.

Can Neal sue?

It was bad enough getting your mail server black listed, now websites? And I was worried about the goverment taking over the internet....

This only reminds me never to install anything from Google.

I'm getting it with Firefox. What can be done besides disabling alert warning?

Same here I am getting warning using Firefox 3.6.11.

No problem using E.I. Verson 8 which I am using.

Used safety, SmartScreen filter it shows no problem.
And I have a AVG toolbar with a website checker and it says its safe.
I guess if I want to keep using Firefox I will disable attact sites:down:
Just makes me a little nervous seeing the warning.

Long time since my last post here!

I too am receiving the warnings, using Chromium 6.0.472.62 & Ubuntu 10.04. Link to diagnostic page

There are something like 4 different threads about this now:hmmm: Maybe one of the moderators can merge them?

I might have found one cause of the problem, can other people confirm this? See this post of mine in one of the other threads.
Basically it says that if my browser loads an image of which the url starts with "subsim.com/radioroom/" (e.g. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/imag...ner_468x60.png), my AV goes nuts.

The warning page appears only with browsers which use the Google Safe Browsing API.

to learn more about Google Safe Browsing API:
http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/safebrowsing/

Google web-robots checks the contents of web pages, and if they find a site which distribute suspected malware or spyware code eg. through banner ads, active web 2.0 scripts, active content in postings or signature links/pictures, then this site comes on Google's blacklist.

After a certain time, the Google web-robots examine the websites of their blacklist again and if they found no longer suspicious code on the site, they put this website on the whitelist.

To speed up this process, an affected website owner who has cleaned his website and removed the suspicious code can request through the Google Webmaster Tools a review of his website.

This is such bs, google reports a problem and says

But when I check that part of the dashboard, there are zero issues or pages listed.


There is a line on the Google page that says
Please review StopBadware.org's Security Tips for Websites and make any necessary changes to your site. When you have cleaned your site, you can request a review, and we'll evaluate your site.


When I check that fly-by-night outfit, I get


Awesome.

I'll bet that this is some sort of ploy to get you to buy some sort of 'security' software.

Like those web pages that warn you have dozens of viruses (that they put there). ;)

open up FF go to tools > options > security > uncheck "Tell me if this site is an attack site" and click ok.

Clean and simple

Ah, the new protection racket.

Ehm, all fine and well, but that isn't a solution to the problem. It's a workaround at the very most.

it got the job done, so who cares what classification it is.

Defamation lawsuit time!
