Danger: Malware Ahead!

[mr surveyor]

I'm running windoze 7 and i.e., with avg av s/w .... I've been getting alerts for a couple of days and have avoided k.t.

I hope it's cleared up now .... I can't afford to lose another computer like a couple of years ago...

Understand your issue with Google.
But I had to load and run FF with this problem.
Chrome smokes FF in no uncertain terms.
It's not even a contest.
And IE is a joke (not a good one either).

With all things even I'll take issues like that as a tie breaker.
But they aren't.
And I can't wait.

There's another alternative. I've been running 'Pale Moon' for some time now. It's a stripped down version of FF that's faster, but will still run all the add-on's and Plug-in's for FF. It is only available for recent Windows versions and only supports English. I could never use Chrome because I download a lot of videos and Chrome has no support for this, or at least it didn't when I last looked.

Still on this issue. We are being targeted by a determined bunch. Gun sites are popular with hackers these days.

Malware

A couple of weeks ago I got some type of malware virus I'm sure came from this site. Now when I open up this site Norton is giving a warning a virus is
present. I clicked on a previous thread about this with another warning.
I'm sure the problem is being addressed. I Cant really click non a thread
with a virus being blocked by Norton.

My Avast goes nuts on this site, on this thread. Huh!

Yeah, Chrome prevented me from entering the forum this morning. Boy, it doesn't give you an option to bypass the warning. So, I am on Firefox now. It warns about the Google flag, but lets you ignore it. Google probably won't be in a hurry about removing the block.

For the last 2 days when I get an mail about a thread I subscribed to and click on it I get this maleware warning

"Reported Attack Page!

This web page at www.kahrtalk.com has been reported as an attack page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Attack pages try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.Some attack pages intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners."

And when I get out of that, I'm taken to this site:

https://www.stopbadware.org/firefox?...2523post248024

This is the only site that this happens to me. All my settings haven't changed

Thanks, John. I'm working with/around it.

There's already a several day old, open thread on this issue.

[O'Dell]

It got me for the first time today. Of course I can ignore the warning and enter, but it's troubling.

I have repeatedly requested Google to review the site and remove it. I don't know what more to do at this point, the site is clean.

[jg rider]

Ca someone explain what Google thinks it' doing. How can they decide what is maleware if I'm not going through their site. I mean I'm going through FF to get to Kahr Talk, or clicking on a link in my email. Not doing a Google search How did Google get involved.
I'd really appreciate an education.

Thanx from a not to bright, John

Oh ! Is there a way to keep the font size to stay larger as a default.for us older folk ?

John, Google is reporting that it last reviewed the site on 6/19 (today) and that it found malware. See the screenshot, below:

Ok, not knowing anything about the internet, could the fact that the ad banners at the top of the page look and act weird have something to do with this ?

What I mean is, while I was reading the previous post There was 1 banner for Tommy gun .com, 2 banners for Mitch Rosen and 3 banner the kep changing for Crimson Trace.
While typing this there was 3 banners for Tommy Gun.com, 2 side by side for cross bred holster, and 1 for Mitch Rosen. These arrangements keep changing with each click to a different page.

It seems to me that there are multiple ad banners side by side on the same page.

I'm just saying, John the know nothing

oops ! Now there's 5 Tommy Guns .com banners, 3 www xs sights and 1flicking Crimson trace
