I'd like to add that now I don't get the original problem, BUT
1. LQ now takes about 20 seconds to load a page; normally its almost instant.
2. I just a get a pure text version; absolutely NO graphics, inc no background

Can someone let Jeremy et al know.?
Anyone else got this new problem?

I did used to like google, it used to be good(the malware is just an example of the bad things, bubble filter is another, there are others), but just as anything else that become too big and too powerful, also become dangerous, to itself, to the society, to other entities(LQ), etc. It also can be seen as a threat from the other powerful big entities point of view if they can't get it as an ally so they take over it. So they did take over it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM0YWRYaB_c
There are other search engines that don't do the bubble,tracking and are not part of the big circle of madness going on around the world/internet. Don't get caught in the flow.

Thank you Jeremy for the heads up and good work, by the way i did never believe there was anything wrong with LQ, for many years been part of the community I have never seen anything wrong.

@ShadowCat8
Good call on blocking the baddies on hosts file for those that didn't know of it, I did that right the way as well like you when Jeremy post the links.

Regards

Chrism01, mine is back to normal in every way.

I'm not able to reproduce this. Is it happening to any other members?

I was getting the text-only pages but it seems to be OK now.

FWIW, I'd much rather have to deal with the occasional false positive than dealing with a failure to catch something...

tallship 02-07-2013 11:49 PM
It's the lies, that are the real problem here...
 
For me, the biggest problem, at least in the short term, are the lies...

http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/d...92384%2F&hl=en

Reports no bad things in the last 90 days (at least now it does).

But if you ran that report a couple of days ago it showed forty something instances of malware over the past 90 day period.

Now, one, or the other, is a lie. And I don't like lies.

In case anyone is reading this incorrectly, it has absolutely nothing to do w/LQ, but rather, Google Lying!

I didn't trust it when it happened in my browser, but was willing to concede that something was amiss at LQ; yet I certainly trust Google much less today for lying, now that the lies are documented in this thread.

Lies? Sorry but I don't go for the conspiracy theory. These things are only as infallible as the people who create them and nothing in this world is infallible. The way I see it is Google made a mistake, just like you are making a mistake with your conspiracy theories. At least Google has rectified its mistake and given LQ a clean bill.

Can anyone remind us how to get FF to update that list it loads it's malware list from? I could delete ~/.mozilla, but that's a bit drastic.

pingu 02-15-2013 03:12 AM
... and here we go again, today Google blocked LQ.

I haven't had a problem today yet and I've been in and out all day.

I can confirm that LQ was not blocked again. Not sure what issue you're having.

Last I know he was playing around with Netfilter ;-p

codergeek 02-15-2013 08:17 PM
I don't get any block issues with firefox nor google except on that day when it happened on Feb 03 2013.

I also clicked on a button that said this is not an attack site or something similar.

pingu 02-16-2013 03:22 AM
Strange - it happened twice yesterday in office, then no more, and not at all with Chrome.
(And nope, I was not playing with netfilter.. )
Guess my FF just had a bad day.
