Chrome just flagged this site as malware for me

Seems like a bad diagnostic for Chrome to use.

Your site is hosted on a network, and one of the other sites might be compromised.

I can understand that if a particular network is full of malware, blocking the whole thing, but blocking 152 sites based on 3 sites potential badness seems excessive.

Is there a way to tell Chrome to never worry about a particular site?

Getting it on Safari on my MacBook, too. It’s not annoying to have to click through two message screens every time I do something on the Dope AT ALL. :mad:

I just got this in Safari:

I clicked on the link, and was shown this:

When I previewed this post in Safari, it wouldn’t show me a preview. Posting from IE via RDC to my office computer.

Got it as well in firefox 29.0.1

Is Marley experimenting again?

:smiley:

Silk just threw me an “Untrusted Certificate” warning. But it does that on occasion, so can’t say for sure it’s related.

This site doesn’t use HTTPS as far as I know, so they wouldn’t have a certificate at all.

Safari just did it to me.

I got this in Chrome as well. When I went to the details page, it did not list anything bad as having happened nor any malware as having been encountered. So I went ahead and clicked through.

Me too.

Hope to get an official word from the admins soon.

Add me to the FF list.

I’m curious: does SD/CR really get enough revenue from the ads to make it worth all the hassles?

Yeah, yeah, every ijjit with a blog site thinks he’s going to cover his costs and make money while sleeping by signing up for ads… but if even this site can’t get a clean, non-infringing ad stream, and the click-through rates are in the millions to one, i it really worth it? Can I just pay another buck a year to make up for the freeloaders and we can be done with the problems?

More detailed thread on this subject already.

Blocked for me too on Firefox and flagged as a suspicious site. Summoning up all my courage I came here anyway. :slight_smile:

This is absurd. I’ve never yet had a problem with this board.

Flagged for me too just now:

We’ve passed this information along to Jerry and Ed, and they (or we) will be back with an update when we have one. It looks like this is similar to this false alarm case from the beginning of last year. I’ve also merged two threads about the situation. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience.

Don’t mind me.

The main page, www.straightdope.com, does not generate any of these messages.

Which doesn’t say much. You have to go one link deeper to see what Johnny L.A. shows in post #23.

I think it’s a case of slight association with other sites that have served malware recently, even unintentionally. Google, Firefox, etc., are just being cautious.

I ran Malwarebytes and found quite a few threats. Quarantined them and rebooted.
My key board funkiness is gone and may be unrelated to the SMDB problem since no one else has mentioned it. I don’t know if the threats are related to the SDMB problem but since whatever caused my keyboard problems posting a reply earlier is gone, IE is woking fine with SDMB and I get no warning screens or redirection.

Anybody else try IE?
