Free Republic on Google's Black List?!!
Firefox ^ | 10/27/15 | Yollopoliuhqui

Posted on 10/27/2015 12:54:05 PM PDT by Yollopoliuhqui

When I went to post a comment I was redirected to a presumed Firefox warning page that Free Republic was a reported malware/phishing site. The below second warning message indicates that Google's blacklist was invoked. I don't know if this is a malware warning generated on my computer or a real issue that Free Republic should be quickly investigating. I'll post the link here for investigative purposes, DO NOT click on this link.

Wait! Please don't visit that site right now!

Google detected badware on the site you were visiting. Firefox uses Google's blacklist to warn you about "Reported attack sites." We understand that you may know and trust this site, but it's possible for good sites to be infected with badware without the site owners' knowledge or permission.

Getting the same "phishing" warning on some, not all, FR posts on Safari!

I had about given up on Firefox since it was refusing to allow me to open my mail in Yahoo but finally was able to work through it.

Since I loathe Google, they can block me all day (they can also remove their orange fencing, holes and posts from my front yard, too BTW!)

BTW, when I did a search for that thread, I had a “This site may harm your computer” warning come up in the search results.

IE is working OK for me...and I’m using to post this reply.

However, Chrome is all sucked-up. FR loads OK but every thread I click gives me a red screen warning of malware.

A lot of us uninstalled Mozilla Firefox when the Gay Gestapo got the CEO fired because of a donation to the Family Research Council or Prop. 8.
We gotta unite!

It's a bogus message. If you look at the scripts that run on the FR page, you'll see that the =only= script running on the page is google analytics. As opposed so some of the sites that are supposedly "OK" that have 10-14 scripts running that do who the hell knows what.

FR, since its inception has been one of the cleanest pages on the internet. Now, what you might be picking up are graphics from =other= sites that are hotlinked into a thread, but that's not actually FR.

FR is blacklisted every time I try to access anything on it. I’m using Firefox on a Mac.

I have Firefox and I’ve also been getting the warning. It’s becoming difficult to post here.

I saw the warning on Firefox, but only when posting, not when merely visiting a FR link.

This is a test post from IE11.

Yeah, Google’s given me a couple of troubles, and really doesn’t like Rightreason website which links to it.

I had something similar happen to me. It was when I went to post a response,,got a strange screen that said “Attack Page Detected” or something like that. Said Google was warning me based on MY setting preferences.

Hmmmm.

I am able to respond now, it seems. Haven’t yet hit the “post” button.

It isn’t your imagination and it isn’t your box. Same thing happened to me on two machines, both using Chrome, only when it was posting a comment. Scans by three AV vendors came up clean.

I’ve been getting the same thing on ‘advance search’ for a few days, just tried to find a recipe from a past thread and couldn’t get into it - malware warnings.
(using Chrome)
Straight coming in here on a favorite button or straight google, no problem...but start putting in search terms and it pops up....tried to research a topic a couple of days ago for a specific timeframe on a search, same thing.
