Firefox thinks Retroboard is a dangerous site...

MazinKaesar · 15 February 2009, 23:24

I can't connect to http://www.retrobrad.com/ using Firefox as it thinks Retroboard is a dangerous site. Anyone has the same problem?

alexh · 15 February 2009, 23:26

Yes, looks like the site had adware or something.

Retro-Nerd · 15 February 2009, 23:27

Goto options --> security and disable this "Tell me, if the site i'm visting is a suspected attack site". I've seen it several times, i.e. for snesorama. Pretty stupid imho.

ma693541 · 15 February 2009, 23:28

Yes, i do. I use Firefox 3.0.6

TCD · 15 February 2009, 23:34

Same here with FF 3.0.6. IE works fine of course

You can still access it either the way Retro said or by clicking on the small 'Ignore this warning' link in the lower right corner.

MazinKaesar · 15 February 2009, 23:34

Well I think we had to advise the webmaster so he can fix it... I will send him a mail. Tomorrow, not I will go to sleep :P

Retro-Nerd · 15 February 2009, 23:35

This has nothing to do with the website.

No? Well it seems that it's blocked because Google thinks it has Adware : http://safebrowsing.clients.google.c...retrobrad.com/

If you "ingnore this warning" you enter the website, but you see every frame with the same warning.

really well mmmmmmm.

yep me blocked too

Google filters a lot. I don't trust them in any case. Malware in Forums like Snesorama? What's next, EAB?

thats what i was thinking

TCD · 15 February 2009, 23:45

This is actually the first time I see this message

Since the last scan with adware found was on the 3rd they should have deleted the block status anyway now. Seems like they are a bit too cautious.

Untick the box highlighted in the screenshot below and you should not have that problem anymore.

I feel safer using AdBlockPlus and NoScript (and my brain) than using Google Safe Browsing

Source code for site looks clean to me...
