Firefox says EN World is an attack site?

Safari has been also reporting the message. Safari uses a Google service for identifying bad websites.

"Don't Be Evil."

I think you're onto something. Morrus, try casting 'detect evil' on the site.

It's interesting that both CM and ENW are having the same issue - but are on different servers.

Is it possible for someone to maliciously report such a thing?

Getting your site off Google's Blacklist.

Serpguard gives some more links to Google's tools here.

Yeeeep I noticed it too and went huh? Everything was fine the other day, and when I looked things up I was surprised.

Thing is-how did you get on the black list in the first place?

Do they get their ads from the same place? That would still be my prime suspect.

In this case the Google report seems to indicate that Google's bots actually found something or got infected with something on a trawl through the site. I don't know the details of their system but I imagine that's hard to fake.

They are? If I search for ENW on Google I see the warnings, but nothing when I do the same for CM.

I had this happen on a site I manage.

Use the Google Webmaster Tools that StopBadware lists. When you go through the process of activating through the GWT, it should show you where the problem cropped up. On my site, one time, it was that the host had been hacked and code injected into all the index files. Another time, it was a .js file that had code injected into it.

However, it's also possible, as mentioned, that it is ads causing the problem. See what the GWT specifies, that should help clear it up. Then once you've found the source and cleaned it, request a new review - takes about 24-48 hours.

Enworld is now showing on StopBadware:

StopBadware - enworld.org

The Google report links to the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic, which now appears to have higher values for malicious software downloads than before (61 as opposed to the 18 it showed before):

Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for enworld.org

I got the warning on Chrome, but I'd just installed the latest Tor build so was wondering if it was on my end. Sorry that its happening, but good to know it isn't just me.

A couple days ago, without my ad blocker enabled, an advert at ENWorld hijacked my work computer big time. That virus scanner thing. It was hell.

Ad Blocker for firefox is your friend! Also, Spybot Immunize.

That is a quote from RPGNet thread about this... best you look into the banner ads guys!
