WTH? Google says Webpage I go to has Malicious Software...

[sandorski]

...and has blocked it.

I go to a particular website everyday, then I get a Message from Google out of the blue. The potential threat is not what makes me got "WTF" though, it's that Google Warned me about it.

I'm using FF and have no Google Software installed(that I know of). Is this a new feature from Google?

You didn't get to the page through a Google link?

Nope. Selected it from my dropdown thingy where you type Addys in.

Do not question The Google. There is probably a van on its way to your house right now.

I even Posted in that thread, lol. I suppose it's better something catches it than I catching Malware.

I believe the word you are looking for in the title is malicious...


However, ive gotten similar warnings websites from time to time.

Most likely. Thought it was wrong, but spell check seemed ok with it.

Another forum I belong to popped that up, and it was due to people's signatures. Some were using banners from a website that became compromised, and the forum was getting reported as a site hosting malware due to the sigs.

I went to that page..here is what I found --

Reported Attack Page???

Today there was an exploit in the ad-serving software CKA uses called OpenX http://blog.openx.org/09/security-update/. The exploit was patched and I've updated CKA's software so the problem should be fixed. Unfortunatly since the site is now flagged by Google, it could take some time for them to remove the flag I've submitted the site for review already so hopefully won't be long. Sorry for the inconvenience!!

Did it attack your spelling as well?

Thanks for the info. Until Google changes it's mind the
site is annoying with the Warning showing up with each thing clicked.

Yes, it did. Google failed to correct me!! :thumbsdown:

I am telling you... I have been losing faith in Google as of late.
