Bad site? - Page 2

Mobhack · #11 September 21st, 2015, 08:57 AM

Not fixed yet - Firefox is still marking the forums as bad. (I just ignore the warnings since I know it is not really a suspect site!).

Hopefully Shrapnel will get it cleared by Google soon. There seems to be some sort of process they can go through to get unlisted, so hopefully they are working on it.

cheers
Andy

They have not replied to thread in general shrapnel forum or via contact form - can we be sure they are working on it?

We are working on it. With Google it takes time. Their last scan didn't report any problems, but if you don't contact them directly the report stays up for a long while...

But we are working to resolve with Google.

Just opened/closed the site 4 times all without the warning page coming up. At least on my Mozilla Firefox browser everything appears to be working fine since I posted on the site issue earlier. Must've cleared up earlier today as early this morning the warning page was still coming up.

Regards,
Pat

Fixed now.

Thanks whoever!

Sorry it took so long. The Google scan after the 14th showed no problems so we thought Google would remove the warning. They put it up fast enough. But no, you have to contact them to get it removed. BTW, there never was an issue. We were never hacked.

Did anyone click on the "Get me out of here!" box? I did that to a similar message at another affected site a couple years ago and within a few hours my computer had slowed noticeably. Kept getting worse, virus scans (ESET) didn't work, and a couple other anti-viruses brought in as reinforcement were "eaten" by whatever it was.

Within a few days my desktop was nothing but a mess of colored boxes and finally had to go in for reformatting. This time I did NOT click on that box. I can still be taught!

Anyway it's good to have you back. Cheers!

Thank God, I didn't pressed that "get me out of here" thing at all

... Sorry about hearing about possible virus(?) comtamination from this site (I
suppose?).

No.........Tim said quite clearly there was never a real issue, they were NOT hacked. I never ONCE had any warning messages and I have all the necessary software to give me warning for problem sites and using IE Shrapnel was clean as driven snow.

Sorry Don, my bad. Didn't mean to imply there was anything wrong at Shrapnel or Camo forums. Just that an experience at ANOTHER site with a similar warning was most unpleasant. Obviously not all sites and warnings are the same, and I regret any misunderstandings that might arise from my poorly worded comment. Please delete it if you deem it proper. Thanks.
