They have used this to impede access to information they dislike.

Yea going back to Chrome is a temporary measure (see post 18) I haven’t found answer for unknown item opening on task bar when using Pale Moon so it is out for now. Firefox is to bloated and slow. I have Opera installed but never liked the look and feel of Opera. Will be doing some research and testing on browsers tonight or tomorrow.

KAV is excellent! Why anyone would use Chrome or anything Google is beyond me. Google is our enemy, more so than others!

The warning for the other site could be legit for many reasons. I’ve had to fight with a webmaster before over this, she said the same thing, that google is blocking her blog for what she wrote about Obama, it was impossible for me to convince her with the mountain of evidence I provided that indeed malicious code was being served from her site, in this case it was an old vulnerable version of her blogging software that allowed the attacker to alter her pages. In most cases it is disreputable ad agencies that serve anything for a payment, things like Flash and Silverlight are laughably insecure, never host these if you can’t trust the author, the ad agencies don’t care, sometimes the webmasters don’t care because these agencies pay higher.

As for the warnings triggered on FR pages, it seems google has changed the algorithm a bit and now flag pages which link to infected sites. Our mod squad is incredibly attentive to these reports
