ApolloImperium Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Hey everyone - Just a quick note: We are aware that we are listed as an attack site on Google and that you may get a warning when you try to visit the site. Please know that we are aware of the issue. The ad software that we use (and have used for quite some time) appears to be the culprit. There is a bot out there that searches for sites using it and then runs an exploit. DemonGoddess has fixed the issue (again) and is currently working on finding new software that doesn't have the same issues. In the meantime, it can take up to a week for Google to remove us once we submit the site for review, so you may still get the errors until the review is complete. To combat this, you can always add AFF to your trusted site list. Please know that the site is secure and you will not be infected with any type of malware when you visit it. Thank you for your patience! We honestly do appreciate it! SabreWolf 1
ApolloImperium Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Posted October 21, 2011 DG posted this last time we had the issue, so I figured I would reshare! We'll update as we know more. How to add exceptions to your browser In Firefox- From the menu, select Tools Select Options, then Security There is a button "exceptions" Click it, and add the url you want allowed. After you do this, you MUST clear your cache and close your browser, then restart it. Changes don't take effect until you do. In IE In the menu, select tools. Select Internet Options This brings up a pop up with tabs Click the security tab. Click the "trusted sites" green arrow. Add the url to the site you want to add Again, you must clear your cache, close your browser, and restart it for any changes to take effect. In Opera From the menu, select Settings, and then Preferences. Alternately, use Ctrl+F12 From the advanced tab, click security. Click trusted websites Add the url Clear cache, close browser, restart it In Safari, there is no real way to set exceptions. However, if you really wanted to, you can click the gear icon, select preferences, click security and uncheck "Warn when visiting fraudulent sites". I wouldn't necessarily do this, as it will leave the browser open to ANY site at all. Including ones that are truly infected. In Chrome Click the wrench icon Select Options Click "Under the Hood" Again, you could disable the phishing and malware service, but I wouldn't recommend it. Click "Content Settings" For cookies, click "manage exceptions" Add the url For Java, click "manage exceptions" Add the url When you're done, click "clear browsing data" Close the browser, and restart it. --- I put the above information up, because after further research, it can take a week or two to remove a site from Google's black list, no matter if it's clean and been tested.
Guest Katie Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 What if you have the newest version of Firefox?
DemonGoddess Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 In the Firefox menu Options>Security tab> Then add the site
Nerys Dax Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 I use chrome, and I no longer get the warning for AFFnet having malware, so it seems they acted faster than you expected.
Melrick Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 I use chrome, and I no longer get the warning for AFFnet having malware, so it seems they acted faster than you expected. It's no longer reporting for me either, with Firefox or Safari. Odd.
DemonGoddess Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 It just means google updated their blacklist and removed us. This is a GOOD thing.
