I quit using google a while time ago. I use Ixquick. It claims not to record your traffic and, in fact, the targeted ads are much reduced from when I was using Google.

Does it matter what internet browser you're using? I only use Palemoon as my preferred browser, nothing else. I don't have Chrome, Firefox or any other browser programmed into my computer.

Ok, I got Maxthon but that's only so I can cheat the local newspaper and get more than the 5 articles they try to limit me at. Wish I could find a way to stop that from happening.

;-)

It’s political, Jim. They are preventing new people from checking out FR.

I got the malware alert after posting a comment to the transgender feminist Bruce Jenner thread. Thought I ran into some malware. Good to know what’s really going on. Thanks for posting.

What do you expect from a bunch of damn progressives?

Too bad you can’t sue the bastards.

I doubt they are pulling this crap by accident.

Yep, got it yesterday on Firefox, but I ignored it.

Just happened to me for the first time right now on another thread. Using Pale Moon, but it also happened on Opera and FireFox.

Ten years ago when I last worked for the feral gummint Barracuda would not let me open FreeRepublic labeling it “criminal conspiracy”. That was when “W” was in office!

Why google is apparently randomly flagging unrelated threads on FR I have no idea. Your guess is good as mine.

I think our guesses about Google vs. FR are probably closer to the mark.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

I am experiencing this problem for the first time this morning. I have an older Mac running either Safari 5.0.6 or Firefox 3.6.28. For now I am simply selecting the ignore warning button on Safari. The choice to ignore the warning on Firefox seems to be disabled.

“The Left’s War on Comment Sections”

“...Another study found that reading assertive, aggressive comments could actually sway the opinions of readers. “Don’t read the comments,” warned Ars Technica, “they can make you mistrust real experts.”

It’s a piece of advice that captures the war on comments sections perfectly. Having initially cheered on the death of the “gatekeepers of information,” cultural elites are now scrambling to reinstall those barriers. Too late, they have discovered that people don’t always agree with them – and now they want to push that disagreement into the wilderness of the internet...”

There is also an issue with the results from Google's search engine. See this screenshot, I'm sure you'll see the issue immediately. I was discussing this with another user who wasn't having the problem. Still don't understand why I have the problem, and he doesn't. Screenshot is from about 3 weeks ago.

I’d love to turn the malware detect off but I’m using a work computer. So, I’ll just live with it for now.

Jim - It’s 8:06 AM, Oct. 28th and Google is still flagging FR with a full-page splash page.

It’s been near-impossible to post - and when I do, two to three copies of my post appear.
