I get an Avast warning from time to time when enterring the JU forums. Malicious url(livertip) I just ignore it, as I can navigate the forums with no trouble. It is my belief that if any Stardock site was indeed "dangerous" the SD web team would be all over it. Google needs to get its act together.

And they(Google) want people to trust them enough to use an OS built by them? I don't think so!

Yeah.... Google scans the internet and when it finds a site that it believes to be delivering virus or malware it blocks it as "malicious" IE users generally aren't affected. The Joeuser forum page is off limits to Firefox and Chrome and will present the user with a warning page. Its probably just a flash ad that Google is flagging,  Unless the majority of their users are IE the traffic here will nosedive into oblivion

Wait a minute, are you folks talking about the site or the people there?   

Yes.

Has to do with the way Google "sees" the code on the page. Also, Norton sees WC cookies as trackers of low danger.

Bara says they'll do something about it with Google.

BTW, Tova7... I do hope you're doing better, and feeling stronger...you've been in my thoughts.

Awesome.  I wasn't sure if they were aware.

Thanks.  I'm right as rain as of today...but I still have my boob and haven't started chemo yet...looks like mid to late October for surgery, then chemo....

Trust Google???  I'd rather put my hand in a nest of scorpions.

All my prayers go with you, girl.

Right you are there, mate. A little 'chop' for you! Happy Sunday!

Hehe, Doc, that's a good 'un........ good, but sadly true, so sadly true.

People might think Google has taken over the internet, but it goes much, much further than that.   Most believed it was just an April Fools joke when Google posted that thing about free internet connections by placing the provided cable down one's toilet, but that's what they wanted everyone to think, while they covertly plotted away in sewers underneath cities all over the world.  You see, they didn't just want satellites to spy on us from above, they also wanted to spy on us from below. 

So yeah, heed the warning, and check things out thoroughly before you sit on the toot.... they might be watching.

Oh and don't think the S-bend will stop 'em... they've got sophisticated technology to get around that.

Scorpions have nest? Do they lay eggs too?

Yes. Also wings. Now we're really screwed.

I have seen the same thing, Firefox not wanting to load the page. Easy enough to fix in your browser but I think Brad needs to have a chat with Google and fix the nonsense.

That's for sure.... disengaging the 'Block Reported Attack Sites' could leave one vulnerable if one forgot to turn it back on prior to going elsewhere.

We are still working to try and fix it with Google, but contacting them is like contacting someone on Mars.

My suggestion....

Use Bing.

I detect some animosity there.

Without a government mandated monopoly (patent or copyright), all Monopolies fail.  I suspect Google just fiddled their dominance away.  Not that they will not be a factor, but Bing will become a major player as these episodes continue to multiply instead of disappear.

Really???  Who me???   Do I really sound as anti-Google as That???

Actually, I'm sorta expecting a cease and desist letter from Google or its lawyer for all the derogatory stuff I keep saying about it.

Hehe, they're gonna have to do a darned fine job of scaring the bejesus out of me tho.... cos it has become like a sport to me... bad-mouthing Google, that is.

It can't happen soon enough for me.... I'd love to see Google fiddle itself into oblivion, thou I'd have to find a new target to besmirch and denigrate.  

Hmmm, I wonder if Yahoo have thick enough skins to cop it for a while.

I don't know that it's just Google....my Norton gives me this everytime I hit the forums....

When I go here: https://forums.joeuser.com/   

I get this:

 I just close the warning, and then continue on to the forums but it's getting damned annoying.

I saw a process server heading to  your door.

Like Firefox, Norton is getting it from Google.  Kind of like email and blacklisting.  Not every ISP (and most do not) have a list of sites that they will not accept mail from.  instead, they use 3rd parties that track the bad domains.  Firefox and Norton use a 3rd party - in this case Google.

And where the catch 22 comes from.  if Gunslingerbara is correct, the flagging came from Google Ads!  Nice little monopoly there for Google.  Create the problem and then charge to fix it (since they have not, I am sure greasing of their palm will speed up their response to the inquiries )

"We are still working to try and fix it with Google, but contacting them is like contacting someone on Mars."

They do provide details:

After you fix that, then you can request a review using Google's Webmaster Tools.

Ah, so that's what that bloke was doing here yesterday??   Yeah, he had a little accident.... got his nose slammed shut in the sliding door.  Hmmm, don't think we'll be seeing him again for a while...

I hear nose re-attachments take a while to heal

Yup, grease it with a healthy amount of nitro glycerin infused dollar bills... then wait for the almighty boom a Google HQ.

Google flagging malicious sites is an awesome service. When they flag you its for a reason. Shouldn't take too long for the team here to locate the cause and fix it.
