Malware? We're Checking

[nnuut]

I uninstalled Firefox and installed WaterFox 64 bit, no blocking notice now.

OPPS!!! WaterFox got me in one time now I'm getting the same notice that will not let me into the message board? I'm gonna wait and let the big boys fix it.

At some point this afternoon, I will update the software to the next upgrade version. I have avoided this because I tried it once before and it blogs.

On with WaterFox, disabled security settings to Block Attacked Sites.

I saw what James saw. It may be some suspicious websites that are also using my hosting company.

Hey- there were some pretty "seedy" sounding domain names....but I figured --maybe --Tom you had started some new topless premium services that undressed our TSP accounts that I wasn't yet aware of.

I did a lot of cleaning up and turned the forum on again.

I am turning off the plugins for now. These are programs that have been added to the original software (including the list of latest posts, etc.). I want to see if anything happens. Assuming all goes well, I'll get everything back to normal by Monday morning.

Thank Tom for doing what you do.

It's not the way I planned on spending my Friday.

Google's webmaster tools shows the code that is "suspicious". It turns out to be a very benign button that takes you to the top of a page when clicked on. Strange.

The folks who wrote the forum software had this response:

It is no more malicious than brushing your teeth in the morning.​

Just waiting on Google to review it again. Hours? Days? Weeks? More? Who knows?

thanks tom for putting the top 20 stats utility back to active, and for the live buttons on the header below the main logo.

Is there an option to clear the cache? Otherwise, I may have to reset your PW. I don't think it;s related to this "malware" since it's outside the forum.

Email or PM me if you need help, if you would. Thanks

Thanks for posting the all-clear notice on the home page, Tom. been checking all day, kept coming up with danger danger Will Robinson all day til now, still now, but I opted to ignore after seeing your all-clear. I figured it was something like that, but better safe than sorry.

That's my analysis anyway, unless Google has it wrong?

Not sure what's going on. Just watched the movie, "Now You See It", so I don't know what's real or what to believe.

Looks like Google reviewed again and took the warning down. As I suspected... No malware. Yea!

Who knows how many folks will never come back because of this false alarm? :notrust:
