[Alexander's Horse]

Aeson, I'm getting malware warning when I visit the site from Google.

[Aeson]

What is the warning exactly, and does it say what program is warning you of the malware?

[Alexander's Horse]

Content on this website has been reported as unsafe


webmastersforum.org

Hosted by: apolyton.net

It's a Microsoft smartscreen warning message. I have to manually choose to proceed to the site.

[Aeson]

There should be a way to give feedback that the site is safe. Someone must have reported the site as unsafe to that service.

Anyone else getting this?

Anyone who has ever read any of the posts?

[N35t0r]

I'm on IE at work and don't get this message, although I don't know if SmartScreen is on.

[Elok]

Anyone who has ever read any of the posts?

The answer to that is to simply reply without reading--the way lots of us do it--not narc on us to Microsoft. Jeez.

Could this be related to the ads system?
I've seen very targeted ads but lately all I see is skin products that will make my skin look much younger.

I saw a similar warning when surfing in from work (Win 7) last night. I don't get the warning when surfing from home (Win 10).

It could be. There are countless ads in the networks, at least some of them end up being malicious, others end up triggering false positives. Or it could be residual reports from 2 years ago when the site was hacked. Or it could just be Microsoft ****ing something up.

[Aeson]

I'm confident to say there isn't anything malicious on Apolyton itself, other than the posters.

Yep, they are obviously targeted. I am seeing all kinds of awesome tents for camping and backpacking. Only confuses the advertisers when you share your pc searches!
