Reported Attack Page
Wednesday, September 22, 2010 by tazgecko | Discussion: Forum Issues
forums.wincustomize.com is being reported as an attack page if you set your security settings in firefox to block reported attack sites.
Is this an issue with firefox and www.stopbadware.org or just my system?

We are looking into it now.
FYI: Chrome blocks the site as well and shows a message stating that visiting the site may harm your computer. Please note that this is not the case. We are looking into the issue now and hope to have it resolved ASAP.

To disable this new thing in Firefox you can go to "Options" "Security" uncheck "Block reported attack sites" and click OK.

Getting it on IE8 also. I ran a search for Jafo from the search box on WC home page, and all the results were blocked, every link on the page.

Same here in Firefox 3.6.10 (but not with Firefox 2.0.0.20 & Flash 9). Weird isn't it ? 
Tested https://forums.wincustomize.com/ with Norton Safe Web http://safeweb.norton.com/ and no problem at all is signaled.
Isn't there any relationship with recent Flash update ?

Got it once on IE8 here, that whole livertip.com thing Carguy reported in the other thread. But it was Norton that alerted me, not the browser.

I just tested it with IE8. The forum loaded but Kaspersky PURE came up with the report...

Google provides the ads....and Google flags them as 'iffy'.
Wouldn't it be nice if Google just provided better ads.
THAT would solve THEIR problem....
. I never did trust Google ads.

I was wondering what happened. Last night I tried getting into the forums and got hit with this attack page. Truth to say I got a bit worried. I reported it on the first page that popped up that I could post on. I'm afraid in my haste I forgot to take notice of the page. It was in response to the TWIS or whatever pics were made, I think the weekend pics. I posted the report and added a BTW at the end of the post congratulating the pickees. Has it been resolved?

Wouldn't it be nice if Google provided NO ads.

We asked Google last night to rescan the site. We are waiting for their results.
sounds like hackers to me.........
JoeUser had the same problem last week, also related to ads. We were able to fix it by having Google rescan the site.

I see others in the IRC reporting the same thing so it must be a FireFox issue.
