Malware Warning !!! ???

[skyboltone]

Google will unlist any site associated with a malware warning. This, unfortunately, often means that completely innocent third party websites that are mentioned on a search referral will be tainted. They need to address this but so far, over a year, they have refused. It was written up in one of the IT magazines.

I can read and post on this thread. The whole site is not blacklisted by Google. It appears that certain threads are affected at this point.

I'm sure I didn't state the problem right. Ok, say I got this little coffee roasting company called "Dead Cat Drip". There is a website called "Coffee Lovers Garage" that has a link to deadcat.com. So deadcat.com gets infected by a virus. Google not only de-lists deadcat.com but also coffeegarage.com too. And vice versa. Coffeegarage.com gets infected and google de-lists deadcat.com and every other link on their site. This hurts folks.

Yikes. That stinks.. No warnings here though, and no problems either..

Interestingly the thread started by eazilyled is giving me the google malware message. That thread only has 5 posts ATM, could it be one of those 5 posters that is linked to an affected site?

Cheers,

Paul.

My assumption is that it is any thread that contains an attachment. All threads with jpg files do it - pdf files don't. Another assumption is that it is big brother Google looking out for us like nobody else can/will. A lot of assumptions but then, I am an ass.... Turn off the phishing and malware protection in Chrome settings and live dangerously. We're badass rebels up in here.

I don't believe that user is to blame at all.
He has over 100 posts here and they all within the constraints of the Garage.

Apologies to eazilyled and the other 4 posters in that thread (I don't know who they are, as I haven't been able to check).

It wasn't my intention to accuse anybody and certainly not eazilyled, I was just trying to offer an idea that might help us get to the bottom of the mystery.

All the pages I'm able to access have no .pdf/.jpg file in them, so my money is on stelligan's hypothesis.

Have a great weekend,

Paul.

No worries guitar man!

I think the thread I started gets the malware warning cos I linked to the an example thread where I was getting blocked.

[eazilyled]

My thread has picture attachments of the malware message, so I guess that could be it too if the problem is related to attachments.

Hi eazilyled,

I was up in Derbyshire a few weeks ago, I should have brought my amps with me for a mini amp fest!

Have a good Christmas,

Paul.

Just got this on the LarMar PPIMV thread trying to download the PDF

Dan, (Skyboltone) is this a problem that the server host should resolve or webmaster?

This is getting old having to get a warning all the time.

It's a bit unsettling since I spent about a week recently ridding my computer of Malware.

The host.

I am not an IT guy. I just read all the news and this story keeps coming up. There are law suits over it. I have no idea what mechanism is at work here but I thought it odd that only the google chrome and it's related products seem to be causing the problem. I suspect that one download someplace on the site is dirty or was dirty. So google puts the site on a shit list and there it stays. I'm not having any problem with my Mac.
