Curious timing for a Google urging to blow off FreeRepublic, eh?
I just put “fineartamerica.com” into my search engine and it came back with a green light from Norton Site Safe and a big “OK” banner from Symantec Site Analysis.
This sure smells of dirty trick.
I wouldn’t put it past the leftists to pull an evil stunt like this.
It’s probably a photo someone linked to in a reply.
I’m not getting that with the same link using Chrome.
I just checked mine. It didn’t happen to me.
Maybe the regime is upset with all of the truthfulness coming out of FreeRepublic.
Let me guess off the cuff that fineartamerica is a porn site
"Of the 16205 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2012-11-04, and suspicious content was never found on this site within the past 90 days."
The only thing in the reported information even close to an issue was the following:
"In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message."
I have NoScript installed with Firefox. Maybe that's preventing me from seeing the warnings.
Using Chrome here as I type, usually this can happen when a post has or had a link to a site on the blacklist. Clear your cache and try again. Sites with ads may also have served up a malicious ad at one time, not Freerepublic but the linked site.
did you try the same with other well known conservative websites?
Chrome is blocking fineartamerica, but it isn’t blocking my comments page.
On the other hand, it could explain why FR is slow. Just a thought.
Stop NOW and run a complete anti-viral/malware scan of your computer.
Chrome is working for me w/o messages.
If you google for site:fineartamerica.com, you get an absurd number of results, and the results exhibit a repetitive, spammy pattern. On the other hand, if you do the same search on Yandex, you get far fewer, but much more normal results. Yandex is generally much slower in updating their index than Google. So, perhaps fineartamerica recently got hacked?
Why do you use Chrome? I hate Google. I suggest Firefox which is non-profit and they don’t record your activities unlike google, for the sake of analytics
I just had an unintended quadruple post for no good reason and much of the time I get “page unavailable” recently when trying to reach comments.
So does Alan and his very good ESET antivirus may be preventing access.
Something is in the way but has not proved harmful. More of a nuisance.
Thanks for the heads up.
So you decide to infect us?
No problems here and I run Chrome.
Avast warned me a number of times yesterdsy, not today.
Both AdAware and Comodo tell me the site is fine.
