Maybe there is something nasty on your USB flash drive? Or by logging into google you are taking something everywhere you go? Or are you logging into Facebook? I’ve seen Facebook run Windows processes. Check your Windows task list for processes or services running - cancel one by one until the problem goes away. Chrome can run pages in the background - explore the Chrome settings more. Maybe your employer is watching everything you do with a plug-in they don’t understand? Is your spouse tracking you? Do you have multiple personalities, maybe one called Arnold who does not trust you?

I have overlooked something - what is ‘secretsofthefed.com’ and what does that site have to do with FreeRepublic?
I am running FireFox 30.0 on Linux Mint version 16 “Mate” (32-bit) and have never encountered any problems.

And again, getting the same problem. Attempting to reply to My post #60 instead reloads the entire thread, after which I can go on to the next page (51-60) to reply. Anyone else getting this problem?
Reloading the original thread does not solve it, I have to go to the newly-displayed thread to reply.

Chrome? A Google product? Wow! You do know that Google is a communist company, do you not?

Edited the Preferences-Security menu to uncheck “Block reported attack sites”, after which I was able to access the site no worries.

"And again, getting the same problem. Attempting to reply to My post #60 instead reloads the entire thread, after which I can go on to the next page (51-60) to reply.

I use Chrome and didn’t have any problems this morning on my desktop.
But I don’t have that website bookmarked.

Someone probably linked to an image on that thread and google doesn’t like the linked site.

Well, at least I’m not the only one. The other threads work OK, it’s just this one that has the problem.

I tried to reply on this thread (to Eaker and Laz, the two I tried) the Reply To click instead reloaded the entire page, after which I was able to reply as this shows.It did this to me too.

Laz.....just a suggestion when you use chrome. (I don’t use it much)
Chrome has browser extensions that get loaded, often without your input like “safe price” and other crud. In that way they are no different then IE.
Take a look.
While you are there, take a look at your basic browser setting as well.

Yes, I'm starting to think this is not browser-specific, this page-reloading thing. I took a quick glance at the Page Source, but nothing was glaringly apparent -though I am quick to admit that I am not and expert at HTML.
Odd that it would affect only this thread though.

Probably. Check Utilizer’s posts on this thread; he’s getting Malware warnings in Firefox.
It’s very disconcerting that Google’s tentacles are so deep that they can stop another company’s browser (Firefox, in this case) by their say-so.
Makes me wonder how deep they are into the web, and if they could shut lots of people down with the flick of a switch, no matter what browser you use.
Travis: I think you were looking in the wrong area when you postulated the possibility of a ‘second internet’. Google was able to shut down (or at least slow down) access to a website even with a competitor’s browser. Think ahead to the next level and what they could achieve.

*ahem* “an” expert, not “and” expert. Need to proofread more thoroughly before posting.

I think it also important to point out that this is occurring in the firefox browser -on the Linux OS. The vast majority of malware affects the ‘doze platform, not the various ‘nix or BSD offerings so the “malware” warnings are mostly an irritant rather than a benefit of sorts.

Yes. Well-observed.
Today, Firefox voluntarily uses Google's "Bad Website" list, and with both Chrome and Firefox, getting by this warning is trivial.
Tomorrow, Obama could Executive Order that all browsers use Google's "Bad Website" list, and that getting by the block is impossible.

It has happened to me before several times.
Just a glitch I suppose.
