Posts: 2811Thanks for the info; I was worried the problem was my computer or the site. I had the same problem last night. I will try and change that setting, because I'd prefer to use Firefox instead of I. E.

Posts: 1123Google 'safe browsing'
My browser of preference is Mozilla's Firefox. Well it seems to have (several years ago no less) teamed up with Google to protect us from ourselves.
Now I do not deny there is way to much 'phishing' and 'malware' floating around the web. However, my AV and internet security do an adequate job of stopping it.
Anyway, for those (like me) getting the Google safe browsing problem with Firefox or Chrome, the solution seems to be to use Interet Explorer. I personally DO NOT like using IE for ANYTHING, but there are some times when there is no choice. This may be one of them.
It is too bad that Firefox / Google do not give us the option of permanently accepting accessing the site. At least I have not found that option in my searches, but then I was using Google (hey I just woke up). I may have to try another search engine.
Okay, a bit more info. First using 'Bing', I found this site that is 'supposed' to allow us to turn 'safe browsing' on or off. Well for me it did not work.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/safesearch-off/
Now there was link on the 'blocked' notice (this is not an attack site) that has an option that will stop this. In Firefox, go to your Tools/Options menu and click the security tab. Then uncheck the 'block reported attack sites' and then click OK.
You may want to restart Firefox, but I didn't and things are now working nicely.Last edited by Seva Lurker; 08-11-11 at 08:01. Reason: added additional information

Posts: 1169Same Warning
The same thing happened to me last night. I use Firefox and all the bells & whistles went off when it blocked USASG.

Posts: 367Try TOR.
While CCleaner works, it's kinda annoying when it deletes site preferences to legit regularly visited forums / sites. It also doesn't help that whomever has access to your router can see where you've been dredging on the internets even after you've cleaned out your history! With that said, I use TOR to visit sites anonymously and when am done, I close TOR and fire up my regular browser and don't have to worry about anyone seeing my web history. With that said nothing is foolproof.

Posts: 393All your search / visit history is NOT erased and can give you up. Index.dat files
Since we are on the subject of PC's and such, here's something you all should know from a privacy perspective. WIndows has a file, "index.dat" That that tracks ALL of your web pages accessed, URL's visited, even all emails sent if using Outlook or Outlook Express. There are ways to delete these files, but it's not easy. Here's a youtube link that describes what I'm talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ev3Lew9czkA GOOGLE the term "index.dat files" and read up on them. You can erase all of your cookies, history, etc. But these puppies can give you away. Just an FYI. I read somewhere that CCleaner removes these files. NOT SURE on that so research is needed to confirm. Just letting all you guys know about the "backdoor" Windows has to trap our sorry asses.

Posts: 297Try the settings of your antivirus software
I had a problem recently where my pc was going really slow when surfing the web, turns out new version of my antivirus software has a setting to virus check every webpage and every link. Rather than just look for viruses in downloads etc. This setting is definitely valueable, but if you are surfing (reasonably) reliable websites, you can switch off and see a noticeable improvement.

Posts: 36Computer Clean Up Programs
I would download CC Cleaner or History Kills. They do a good job of cleaning up your disk of all the fragments. You might want to run a De Frag hard drive and then do a Check Disk. Do a massive clean up and lining up all the program files seems to make my computer run a lot faster.

Posts: 393Also try CCleaner.
Back when I used Windows machines, I swore by program called "CCleaner" for finding and erasing all of the flotsom that can clog up a PC. Not sure if it's still around, but 3 years ago it was a good program to have.

Posts: 393It could be your Anti-virus software
The newest versions from MacAffie and Norton (to name two.) , look at, scan and scrub every effing thing. These programs can seriously impact your performance. Just another thought. I doubt it's your actual computer or IE9, but who the heck actually knows.

You may want to consider Mac Cleanser (if you're on a Mac) or the Windows equivalent to really scrub your cache, eliminate the flash cookies and other nonsense that accumulates over time. Not sure if that's going to help in your situation, but it's worth a try.
Hope that's helpful.

Posts: 393Yes to skype and Messenger.
But not MSN. But do keep multiple browsers open and sometimes run Netflix on the TV (wifi) at the same time. And I'm on DSL not cable.
4 gig dual core MacBook Pro that's 3 years old, running Snow Leopard 10. X. So nothing fancy.
