And as for “It's not funny because potential members/users are being scared away from a great community and sim resource because of a mistake.” What Mistake are you talking about read my post again there was no mistake the threat was real and for some who will not find out about this until they start getting return e-mails that they have not sent or worse then lets see how much of a mistake they think it is also. |

The rest of your response, and any further response on my part, are meaningless unless you answer that first, since my calling Google/badaware's action is conditioned on the actual attack not taking place yesterday.

But IIRC, the last time before today that my FF updated itself was several days ago, well before the problems started (for me the problems at subsim started the day before yesterday).

I kinda feel left out. I haven;t had a warning or any kind of problem.
SubSim works as advertised. Trouble Free for Me. |

Just to add, been getting these warnings all day, and about 10 AM CST lost ALL comms with subsim.com even tho I was still getting warning messages. Couldn't get a ping response either. I suspect I may have an ISP block to this site as I don't have this problem (other than the warnings) using my backup account from a different ISP. Also strange 2 different versions (3.6.10 and 3.6.8) of FF and BOTH started with this warning today, neither have been updated in recently. Another reason to hate google.
Least I know the site isn't down.

I am pretty sure that this has already been done, but just to be sure:http://www.google.com/support/webmas...?answer=168328

I've also been getting messages from my Norton 360 that it has blocked an attempt to attack my computer a number of times when I first log in to Subsim. Just now I received another warning, but it doesn't happen every time, just now and then. I've used a number of tools to perform repeated scans on my system and nothing has been found; as well, my system is not exhibiting any behaviour to lead me to believe it has been infected: no pop ups, no slowness, no unexplained hard drive lights, etc.

Signed on to the forum tonight with Firefox 3.6.11.
No warning message. about the web site. I did upgrade my free AVG Last night to Ver 2011. but I don't think AVG was the problem. I am glad the warning message is gone guess Neal fixed it? Thanks to the person that fixed the problem. Lane |

If I do a Google search for "subsim" all the links that come up are rated 100% safe by Norton Site Safety, with no identified threats of any kind. I just upgraded the AVG on the work machine this week and did a full system scan in the process which found nothing. This computer gets scanned regularly as well and nothing bad has shown up. I use IE8 on both machines. |

I'm still getting the warning when I re-check "Block reported attack sites" in firefox security settings.

Seawolf, so far I have not been able to determine there ever was any trojans on the Subsim server. You may think there was, with your free AV system warning you, but that and $1 will buy a cup of coffee. There may have been some problems with the Google ads being served (becoming more common, read this for more), I removed the ads from the forum. Yes, a few people had AV warnings, but that does not prove anything, AVs often have false alarms. I checked the server and files, The Planet checked the server and files, and Admin Geeks checked the server and file--nothing has been discovered. With the current Firefox/Chrome alerts, I have had the Planet Advance Support team check everything again. Still, nothing malicious has been found: Quote:
I am not saying there is absolutely nothing wrong, just that we cannot find anything wrong. I think the problem originated from Google ads, and some awesome dope reported Subsim as an evil site, and now Google is blacklisting us. Thanks, Google! I am going to have an independent vBulletin technician check the database and files tomorrow, to double-check the work done by TPAS. Better safe than sorry. Will report what I find, thanks. Neal
