patchnet Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 For the past few days and still now, whenever I try to go onto the Autographica website, I get a message saying that it has been blocked (by my browser, which is Firefox) because it has been detected to be an "attack page". Such pages, it says, "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." Are you aware of this, and (to quote from Marathon Man), "Is it safe?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'll report this to Dave, thank you. I know there was a problem a couple of months ago with a similar message, but it seemed to have been sorted. At least no one reported any more messages.

adriangill Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) I have just tried it on two PC's and a laptop and received no messages, either in Firefox or IE. Have you tried it in a different browser? Edited July 26, 2011 by 1of2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 And also probably needed to solve this: what browser does bring up that message? Maybe it is an old version of Firefox? My current one isn't blocking the page either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have just checked and all of my installed browsers are the most current versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jael001 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have the latest version of Firefox and I'm not getting any warning page (and I often do for dodgy pages). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticRob Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Presently I wouldn't visit the site. Google doesn't really make up "This site may harm your computer." messages unless their bot scans the page and finds malicious or known to be malicious code.

teroknor34 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Well I'm using Firefox 5.0 and the web page is coming up as a reported attack page,on further investigation google says that suspicious content was found on this page on 26/07/11.Malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent.

Moderators Dave Phillips Posted July 29, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi Guys We are aware of and working on the problem. We are not aware of any harmful viruses present and it is probably a coding problem. Not everyone is reporting a problem and it only seems to affect some browsers. Let you all know when we have looked into it a bit more. Meantime if you need to contact us use the plastic bone shaped instrument in the corner of your living room. Or for you space fans the saturn 5 shaped telephone which you have nicknamed either Buzz or neil. Safe surfing everyone will keep you updated.

Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted August 3, 2011 Showmasters Admin Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm just working on the problem at the moment. There is no malicious coding on the website but it could be that a block was placed on the site by some browsers after a previous attack last year. So the good news is the site is not harmful to computers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted August 8, 2011 Showmasters Admin Share Posted August 8, 2011 It's all fixed now :) I've tracked down the old piece of coding that was causing the problem and it's now been removed. The error message may still appear in google searches for the next 24 hours or so, just while they re-run their verification on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crippsy_99 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I just tried accessing the site directly..and its blocked still Reported Attack Page!

Queen_Sindel Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 What browser are you using? That would hopefully help the office figure out if there's still a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radzinsky Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 What browser are you using? That would hopefully help the office figure out if there's still a problem. I use Firefox and get the same attack page warning every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teroknor34 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm also still having problems,I am using Firefox 5.0.1. But works fine with ie 9.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radzinsky Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 according to firefox the administrator of the site has to request a review from google once the problems sorted. So I'm guessing it's just a case of waiting for google to do their magic and It'll be sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does look like the Google magic does take quite a bit to work if you don't request the review yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have just done a quick check on mine and the following browsers each display the own version of a suspicious/malicious content warning. Chrome 13 Firefox 5 Safari 5.1 IE8 does not display any warnings and goes to the site without any issues. Even when set to the highest security settings It's all fixed now :)I've tracked down the old piece of coding that was causing the problem and it's now been removed. The error message may still appear in google searches for the next 24 hours or so, just while they re-run their verification on it. The last general check performed by Google now appears to be two days after your code removal, and is still displaying a warning. I use Firefox and get the same attack page warning every time.Which version? I have checked again with the current version and like stated above, I don't get a warning.Within the security settings of Firefox there is an option 'Block reported attack sites'. Do you have this enabled? If I disable it then Firefox does not give any messages about the site and will load it without any problems. When enabled I get the warning message.

Radzinsky Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 yeah I do have the block attack sites warning enabled. Dont want to turn it off I might forget to turn it back on. There is an option to just ignore the warning anyway so it's all good. Seems to work alright in internet explorer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Google appears to have performed another check, and I am no longer getting a warning in any browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patchnet Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I have tried again too (I was the original poster on this topic) and can confirm that the warning message has now gone and the pages are once again working fine, deserving a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
