Internet Security

[Admin]

Greetings Everyone,

Approximately 30 hours ago the forum's server was the target of a low level attack by a hacker who was attempting to upload his SPAM malware advertisements onto the website. A by-product of this attempted attack was a security advisory issued by Google.

24 hours ago, just 6 hours later, we discovered the hack attempt, cut the hacker off, replaced the effected files and took the necessary measures to prevent similar future attacks.

12 hours ago, Google reviewed the site and gave us a clean bill of health, but it will take approximately 24 hours for the Google security advisories to stop.

Let me stress that the forum's database, which is kept on a separate server, was not compromised in any way and remains as secure as it has always been since I first started the forum 10 years ago.

Thanks,

Jackson

Why do I keep getting this warning on several different computers and on Safari and irefox Browsers. I have done a variety of things to try to bypass, but it keeps blocking me. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Either PM or post here.

Thank You!

Its a google thing. Do a google search on usasexguide. Info and you will see several warnings. Click on the link for the explanation from google.

That is the message I get when I attempt to come to this site from firefox google, or IE google. I was only able to login using my iPhone, which is what I'm typing with. Never had this issue before. Wonder if the administrator knows that the site is blacklisted by google? Anybody else having same problems?

In firefox, go to tools, options, security. Uncheck block reported attack sites. That "fixes" it. It does however leave you unprotected from dangerous sites.

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.

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.

Have internet explorer working grate.

Just Mozilla's Firefox is doing it.

I had this problem pop-up also on Safari and it made browsing this site difficult and posting impossible. The fix is similar to the firefox fix described below. If you're using Safari on a mac click on the word Safari in the upper left then select preferences, then security, and then uncheck the "warn about fraudulent sites" tab. This problem just started popping up Tuesday night August 9th.

I have to try another search engine if I type in the site. You get a warning this a "bad" site.

I don't have it bookmarked on my home computer.

For some reason this site was listed as a possible site for trying to install malicious software while visiting the site. I can honestly say that is bull. I have never had any issues with this site.

To stop the blocked pages messages you are getting in Firefox please do the following.

Go to tools.

Options.

Security.

Uncheck the box that states " Block reported attack sites "

I hope this helps. Until the administrators of this site contact Google on this matter it will remain on the block site list.

Be safe.

My Camino browser gave me the same malware message (derived from Google information) every time I tried to reach a new page. It also wouldn't let me post this message. I fixed it by unchecking the proper box in "preferences; security", and now it is back to normal. Fortunately, I use a mac.
