It's at least worth looking at the possibility.

My e-feelings are hurt.



...what? <_<;



By the way does google specify the pages were they find malware and stuff, or how does it work? Because it's just too weird they are making the same claim as last time even though no one else is getting anything.

Pretty much the same as an AV scan of the HTML they cache. They match known addresses that serve malware to links found in their cache. It's not all that special.

The problem is that with a forum, it could be posted by users which have posts later edited or deleted but if google crawls your site while its there, it matches their scan and triggers an alert.

Personally, I don't think it's something a search engine should do, but Google is trying to take over the world.

Make it stop... Ignore only works once for me, then I have to revert to IE.

Re: Google is being a dick again

Yestarday, I've contacted google successfully, and they wanted me to check our posts see if there's any "Viagra" spam anywhere, and such, I did manage to find References to it in legit posts where people were just poking fun at using "Viagra" as a reference. I pointed that out, successfully and got it delisted.

I've put in place automatic Spam Protection from TypePadSpam API , which can be helpful in later futures as IP address get automatically blacklisted. Also new user Linking URL and Attachment is disabled until hitting 25 Posts, also, new users will require at least 10 posts to view any signature related images and URL.

A google employee was helpful enough to pinpoint a attachment javascript as being not normal because it was trying to redirect users to a chinese search engine, however that chinese search engine is clean of malware, it was just that javascript was attempting to redirect without user notification or consent.

Personally, I don't think google is doing anything bad, its just it's very unrealistic and no notice before marking sites as a virus site. I wish they would make the system better, based on alot of webmaster having grief over what's happending (all over google community) and what's required to fix it (signing up for google's services), is just too much hassel.

I'll be continuing to work on the site (finish all the upgrades), and make sure the site dosn't get flagged anymore.
