roddy Posted January 31, 2009 at 03:14 PM Report Posted January 31, 2009 at 03:14 PM Google's gone mad and is giving malware warnings for almost ALL sites - I know a lot of people reach the forums by Googling specific phrases that they know will bring up a forums page, but you don't need to fear, our pages are safe and Google is wrong. This is a pretty major error, hope they get it fixed quickly. Quote
gougou Posted January 31, 2009 at 03:19 PM Report Posted January 31, 2009 at 03:19 PM I don't get that here. Probably I caught some malware that removes those warnings. Quote
roddy Posted January 31, 2009 at 03:26 PM Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 at 03:26 PM Seems to be fixed now. Quote
Shadowdh Posted January 31, 2009 at 03:27 PM Report Posted January 31, 2009 at 03:27 PM I am not getting that here (UK)... I have just had to re format my drive and reinstall everything and so far I am malware free (well at least according to the several programs I am using alot at the moment)... Quote
imron Posted January 31, 2009 at 03:28 PM Report Posted January 31, 2009 at 03:28 PM It was happening before to several images on the links I posted in the Chinese Restaurant/Apostrophe thread. Quote
dalaowai Posted January 31, 2009 at 06:32 PM Report Posted January 31, 2009 at 06:32 PM It happened to me in Canada this morning as well. Every site was getting it. Now back to normal. Quote
liuzhou Posted February 1, 2009 at 04:15 AM Report Posted February 1, 2009 at 04:15 AM And here's the explanation. Google blacklists entire internet Quote
ABCinChina Posted February 1, 2009 at 05:13 AM Report Posted February 1, 2009 at 05:13 AM It was happening to me too in the morning and was quite annoying. Glad to hear it's fixed! Quote
YuehanHao Posted February 2, 2009 at 12:14 AM Report Posted February 2, 2009 at 12:14 AM Tangentially related to this, I installed two extensions in Firefox with the goal of more secure web browsing, WOT (Web of Trust) and Finjan. I found it interesting that they both give the chinese-forums site a semi-dubious rating. The WOT rating (http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/chinese-forums.com) seems to be based on few inputs, but it gives a poor rating on child safety, and although "trustworthiness" was good, two of the other ratings were pretty bad also. The Finjan extension in Firefox says it detects potentially malicious behavior. I think one can see through this link (http://www.finjan.com/Content.aspx?id=1190&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chinese-forums.com&state=unsafe&category=Blogs%20and%20Forums%2C%20Search%20Engines&reason=Potentially%20malicious%20behavior%20was%20detected%20on%20this%20page%3A%20-Code%20Obfuscation%20(Home-Encoding)%20&more=). Just pointing that out for whatever it's worth. 约翰好 Quote
L-F-J Posted February 4, 2009 at 04:58 AM Report Posted February 4, 2009 at 04:58 AM lol, google marked itself as harmful to your computer. Quote
gato Posted February 4, 2009 at 08:49 AM Report Posted February 4, 2009 at 08:49 AM The WOT rating (http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/chinese-forums.com) seems to be based on few inputs, but it gives a poor rating on child safety, That makes sense. Chinese-forums can get pretty racy at times. Quote
