Attack Page warning?!

[JamesonCourage]

Well, just wanted to chime in saying I've been skipping the warnings and just reading the threads, like normal. I've just run two scans on my PC, and nothing bad so far. But, I do have AdBlock, so if it's from the ads, I don't think I'll be in much danger, anyways. Just wanted to throw that out there to people, so they can choose to risk it or not based on my experience.

We're 99% sure this was a slightly dodgy ad we have since blocked.

Opera just keeps saying "This site has a clean security record".

Don't know if this is worrysome, but figured you should know.

When trying to open EN World in a new tab in Firefox (I needed to check something out and didn't want to leave the page I was on), I got this:

Reported Attack Page!

This web page at www.enworld.org has been reported as an attack page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Attack pages try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.Some attack pages intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.
​

The window I'm currently in has been opened since yesterday. That message popped up on the first time I tried to access it today.

I REALLY hope whoever if f**kin' with you gets bored and knocks it off soon. Gettin' really annoying.

The actual page I was trying to get to was my Settings. Dunno if that matters/helps.

Just an update: I keep bypassing the warnings, and I just ran another scan for any malware/viruses, and came up clean. So, the malware warning may not be fixed on the site yet, but I haven't had any negative consequence of using it anyways. And, just to remind people, I do have AdBlock, so that might help me avoid the offending ads, if they are indeed the problem, so your results may differ. As always, play what you like

How do you get around it? The only choice I get is go back no matter what I do I can get on the that [art of the site.

Click "advanced" and then "proceed at your own risk" (in Chrome). At least, if that's what you want to do. You have to keep doing it for every thread so it's kind of a pain, but nothing happened to me when I did it.

Ahnehnois covered what I've been doing to get around it. I use Chrome, and to get around it in Chrome, you click on Advanced, then on "proceed at your own risk". And, yes, the warnings are up for me even now, but I still haven't had any issues from any scans I've done.
