McAfee Site advisor warning

[Laurie]

When I try to go to tugbbs.com/forums using Chrome, I get a Mcafee warning that it's a dangerous site. Just logged in using IE and got a little pop-up saying it's using Java, something or other, which I had to x out to continue. Anyone else having problems and/or know what's the meaning of mine?

 

[TUGBrian]

can you post the content/details of the warning message? (and anyone else that might be getting it)

Warning: Dangerous Site

Whoa!
Are you sure you want to go there?

Why were you redirected to this page?

When we visited this site, we found it exhibited one or more risky behaviors.

I just received the same error on my home computer...tried on my work laptop (which I'm using now to post) and everything was fine... it did NOT redirect me. Using Chrome on both computers.

I thought perhaps it was a Chrome thing, but I have no issues with either Chrome or FireFox.

I got a warning night before last; mine said dangerous malware or infected site. I use Kaspersky anti-virus software and was using internet explorer.

Home computer is fine, but the work computer blocks it. It all started yesterday.

 

[TUGBrian]

was hoping for some sort of detail file or specific url that your virus scanners are picking up?

McAfee is blocking the lounge specifically

McAfee throws up a warning on the lounge for exhibiting risky behavior. Anyone else have that warning?

Got it once on my Windows machine with Firefox but not since then.

Whoa! Do you really want to go there?

Is that the message?

Got that last night.

I didn't get the error today on my home computer. All is well.

 

[Laurie]

All isn't well for me, I still get the same warning using Chrome which uses McAfee Site Advisor, whereas my IE doesn't for whatever reason.

So when I google tugbbs.com from Chrome, here's what I see (not sure what will translate but try the URL):

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclien...56702e26625f29&bpcl=37189454&biw=1137&bih=554

Well, apparently that doesn't display any warnings unless you're using Chrome + McAfee Site Advisor, so never mind that clarifying anything.

 

[Laurie]

Yes! McAfee Site Advisor blocks everything TUG for me when I use Chrome, which uses Site Advisor.

See my posts in first forum, about tug bbs or something.

 

[pgnewarkboy]

Is that the message?

Got that last night.

Yes. Something similar. I use site advisor.

Hmmmm. And I picked up a Google redirect trojan recently at work, and I don't visit anywhere not in my bookmarks when I'm at work. Typing from my Mac at home right now.

I have the same. Not sure if it's coincidental or not but prior to getting the message I had rebooted and reset my cable modem (was down due to Sandy)

 

[TUGBrian]

doug replaced a file that had something erroneous in it earlier this afternoon that might have been causing the error.

this was around 2pm or so.

 

[Paumavista]

YES!!

Have gotten the same message the past two days......only for the bulletin boards....I can see TUG home & the rest of the website but McAfee warns me when I try to come here.

I sent two messages here to TUG asking them about it but haven't gotten a reply.....since I tried logging on from other computers in the house I know that it isn't MY computer.......all of them in the house with McAfee software show the warning.

My husband has done a complete back up of the system & set a restore point on the computer before he finally let me log in here.

Is this some new level of McAfee that is picking up on a problem (that's always been here)......or has TUG BB done something new recently that is setting off the trigger?? Either way I have to say that it makes me a little nervous....but I really like this site and didn't want to abandon it (I know VRBO has problems occasionally & I have to stay away for awhile).

I have always "listened" to McAfee in the past.......what made the rest of you come here even with the warning? Did you simply back up your systems and hope for the best or do you get "false" warnings occasionally?

[TUGBrian]
