Google blocking access to TUG

Browser warning.
 
TUGBrian said:
you are getting a local virus warning, or the chrome browser site warning?
Click to expand...

Chrome Browser Site Warning here. No virus warning from the anti-virus software.
 
This the current warning I am getting from Firefox:

Reported Attack Page!







This web page at www.tugbbs.com has been reported as an attack page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.





Attack pages try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.Some attack pages intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.
 
This is the warning I get from Google Chrome:

The Website Ahead Contains Malware!
Google Chrome has blocked access to www.tugbbs.com for now.
Even if you have visited this website safely in the past, visiting it now is very likely to infect your computer with malware.
Malware is malicious software that causes things like identity theft, financial loss, and permanent file deletion. Learn more
 
Chrome warning. I can get in through explorer
 
I'm not getting any warning at all entering direct on my iPad/Safari. I DO get the Google site warning if I try to enter TUG via Google. Bing search brings up TUGBBS with no probs.

After I clicked "this site is not....", here is what I get from Firefox. It looks like Firefox is getting the Google warning.

TUG needs to contact Google to get off their black list.


Wait! Please don't visit that site right now!

Google detected badware on the site you were visiting. Firefox uses Google's blacklist to warn you about "Reported attack sites." We understand that you may know and trust this site, but it's possible for good sites to be infected with badware without the site owners' knowledge or permission.
 
yea...its definately google that has blacklisted the site...ive verified this with about 8 different online "scanners" (many of which suggested by google themselves)...the only issue it shows with all of them is that google lists the site as "suspect" but all malware scans come up clean.

It lets me file a petition within google webmaster tools, so ill do that here shortly.
 
I was able to turn off the warning in Chrome by going in to the Settings and clicking the Show Advanced Settings link. Then un-checking the Enable phishing and malware protection box. Perhaps not the wisest thing, but it prevents the warning from coming up.
 
and the extra weird part is i get no error in chrome now...only in firefox.

Are you closing out of your browser sessions and going back in? I found once I overrode the Chrome warning, I wouldn't get warned again unless I closed out of Chrome and went back in.
 
yea...totally opened a new chrome browser. (i dont normally use chrome, just keep it ont he computer for compatibility testing)
 
maybe it only impacts it if you are logged into google (gmail etc) when browsing in chrome.

I thought you had to have a Google account and be logged in to use Chrome? I know that I am logged in. Still seeing the message if I turn on the Phishing and Malware detection option.
 
nah...it asks me to log into gmail on chrome (i dont keep it saved on there etc)

after logging in and going back to tugbbs...i get the warning within chrome.
 
The Firefox warning I just got was from the browser, not from my anti virus program.
 
I just got the message from Firefox, not my antivirus. Here's what they said:

Yep, Chrome warned me about tugbbs.com, but let me "proceed at my own risk."

Google Chrome has blocked access to tugbbs.com for now.

Safari also warns about malware.

I only Safari and Chrome, no other browsers to test.

yea...that message above is the result of the google blocking...it gives me the same thing when I go into the webmaster tools.

hopefully filing this petition will take care of it as google seems to be the source of all this.

really kinda bugs me given the OVERWHELMING amount of spam i get on a daily basis...that those sites can remain running...yet TUG get listed as "suspicious"
 
I too get those messages with both Safari and Firefox. Even with ignoring the warning Safari will let me in to a page, but I get the same error message at every new page and it won't let me post. If I click on "ignore warning" in Firefox it lets me in and allows me to access the site fully.

Got both these same warnings on Firefox and Chrome and am now in without problem on IE.
 
Using Firefox, I get the same message as Dioxide45:
