You get a big warning

Lucianne Site attack warning

This advisory blocks Lucianne.com because of a single link to a site that hosts malware. This isn't the first time this has occured to Lucianne.

This means that anyone posting go Free Republic that links to an infected server could cause Free Republic to be shutdown via Firefox Browser security settings.

Does Free Republic have the technology to check for malware hosted from every link we provide?

I’m fine with Google doing this. Although I like Lucianne.com, Ive had trouble from visiting it.

LOL!

Oh the irony!

That collection of randomly sensitive, double standard wheeling, capricious banners, and faux-con, rainbow warriors at Ldott are being censored unfairly!

Uhmmmm...delicious!

If it wasn't for bad links we'd have no links at all ;o)

Google should be so vigilant with other sites.

Just recently I’ve picked up malware from a site that claimed to have owners manuals and another tech site to download a utility.

First time in 10 years I’ve gotten any kind of infection.

I got a pop up message from google the other day on this when I went over there. Lucianne has a note on their home page that the problem has been taken care of.

I was using FireFox, but didn’t get any warning from it.

You get so much bad crap going to Lucianne. I complained once about all the spybots and crap and they responded "use better virus protection...we need the money from the ads."

Its a lame site anyway. Most articles get 10 responses and they treat everyone like children. Screw em.

I can access Lucianne’s site, my AVG does have a warning pop up. I just email Lucianne the info in case it is something she needs to attend to.
