Basically, google's full of crap. Apparently, they have two issues with FR. One is that a user (a long-time user not a hacker) posted a link to an image that (unknown to him) resides on a site google has registered in their database as a malware site. We've pulled the post and notified google. Have no idea when they'll stop flagging us.
The other is that we have links to aim.org. NSS! Aim (Accuracy in Media) is a well known conservative site. Have no idea how many, but I'm sure we've had hundreds or even thousands of links posted to aim.org. We're not going to pull them.
Why google is apparently randomly flagging unrelated threads on FR I have no idea. Your guess is good as mine.
But it's not just google Chrome. Any browser that relies on google's database is doing this.
If you want to stop these erroneous and obnoxious warning messages immediately, you can set a browser option to ignore such warnings. Your virus protection software will catch any real viruses.
Thank you all very much for notifying me. I've received dozens and dozens of these already. Sorry, cannot answer each one individually.
That's one of the groups listed in my reply #75 (PC World article).
A site search for Cass Sunstein gets several hits. Plus a search for "Free Republic" gets a couple of hits on the site.
I’m getting it using Firefox but just on this thread. but just on the following thread.

And there’s nothing wrong with that thread. Google FUBAR.
Thanks for the info, Jim
lol
Good way of getting RID of an EFFECTIVE CONSERVATIVE WEBSITE.
Those of us who use FR know it is a ‘safe’ site.
I still believe that it's interesting that a friend of Obama's and critic of Free Republic, Cass Sunstein, is associated with an Internet policing (IMO) group from Harvard University. The group is identified in the article I referenced in reply #75. Other replies of mine above explain the Sunstein connection. The replie also link to other sites being harassed by these (IMO) radicals.
Now I can continue mentioning FR postings to people w/o having to explain, "Ah, don't let that warning scare you."
I’ll give that a try.
This is now happening to my hometown church’s web site.
Good. Keep up the good work.
You remind me that somewhere on my bookshelf is the title “Bad News: Foreign Policy and the New York Times” or something similar. It is largely an expose on the NYT’s failure to report truthfully on the Vietnam war, and war correspondents tendency to gather war news from a bar in Saigon.
Chrome working OK now - thanks to anyone involved in correcting this attack.
thanks for the ping.
