Chrome is not blocking FR for me. I do NOT have www.secretsofthefed.com in my ping list.

Curiously, when I went to look for the website in my 'pings' I could not find it after all. It apparently saw 'secretsofthefed' elsewhere, and blocked the site.

Now, I wouldn't normally say anything about this if it happened on one computer, but it happened on two. That means it would be happening at the Chrome/browser level.

It also looks like it just stopped happening.

Who knows. It is definitely something to keep an eye on. 'They' might try to lock FR out at the browser level someday, this would be how it might look.

Uninstall chrome, deleting all files and settings. Install / run Malwarebytes (free trial) and quarantine everything it finds. Ununstall any remaining software discovered by Malwarebytes using the control panel or any uninstall that came with it. In the control pannel’s internet options, empty the cache then click the advanced tab and reset Internet Explorer to it’s defaults. Delete all your temporary files and any remaining chrome folders. Install Microsoft Security Essentials (free) or AVG free. Turn on the Windows firewall and remove unwanted exceptions. Download and install Chrome again. Swear at the computer. Take a walk to relieve your stress.
