is marking this site, specifically the forums as a "phishing" site. Not sure what you can do but I'm having difficulties getting in here.

You can add the site URL to your whitelist... http://www.getavast.net/support/managing-exceptions.

Same issue

 

[budpytko]

Me too...I did answer them by clicking that this is NOT a deceptive site.

 

[driller]

I have sent an inquiry to our web host to look into this.

 

[tixer]

Got it here, too.

I submitted it for recatigorization as well. If there's a compromise, I'm not seeing it yet, and we aren't being flagged on other websites that track that sort of thing.

 

[driller]

Odd. I use multiple devices/browsers and have yet to see an issue. I assure you nothing has changed on our end but I haven’t heard from Vistitude yet.

I can’t even blame the Russians since all new users have to be manually approved anymore.

From what I understand it could be a simple link posted somewhere that could be responsible for the alert status.

 

[driller]

Update... I have authorized them to investigate and report back to me.

For added information, in my case it was Firefox itself that reported the problem. I'm only running Windows Defender (or whatever they've renamed it to this week) on this machine.

I get the orange screen too.

I suspect it to be one of the ads after reading some google safe browsing articles.

After some quick research, I deleted a non-responsive link and associated ads. I hope to hear from Vistitude in the next few days. Apparently it can take 2-3 days for a security review once a site is 'cleaned'.

 

[billcu]

I noticed when this first happened to me, the ads were all gone when I finally got in. Now the ads are back.

After some review, Vistitude has detected our database has apparently been infected with malware which is what has caused the forum website to be 'blacklisted' by at least one web security service.

I have authorized them to enlist the services of a website security specialist they recommended to help 'clean' the site and get us off the blacklist.

I suspect the Russian spammers we were being inundated with back in the beginning of the year to be the perpetrators.

 

[tixer]

Thanks, JP. Just let me know of there's anything else I can do to assist

 

[Lvnmarks]

Russians you say, I can call up my employer and see if they can handle them. Lol!

hmmm I don't know about that. Sounds like crappy security of an overpaid server. These guys really aren't that good

 

[psychostang]

I'm still getting the screen.

 

[mlschultz]

Still getting the danger screen on my laptop. Using my iPhone to log into the forum since I don’t get the error on it

i just started looking into it last night. JP has the server company working on it, so I'll have to wait before i can do more
