I am using Firefox, but nothing ever came up, until today with the google safebrowsing.

May I have been infected, or is it something just IE related?

ps - as Dmitri, I had to disable safebrowsing to post this.

Firefox 3.1 or NOD32 didn't hasn't warned me of anything, never has. No tweaking of settings either.

Reported Attack Site!



This web site at www.guildwarsguru.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.



Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.

Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners. when I tried to use the site and every time I goto a new page on Firefox...

Did you just upgrade to the new Firefox?
If so had the same prob - Look under tools > Options > Security and theres an exceptions tab there.

Woah... I had to turn McAfee off to come to Guru today. It was like "THIS SITE CONTAINS SOFTWARE THAT WILL STEAL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO VIEW THIS WEBSITE UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED"

Well I just got the warning now... I remember I had it off because the same thing happened before to another legitimate site. At Google's Webmaster Tools you can get another review of your site, wonder if this has been mentioned. This link also comes up when you say the site isn't an attack site:

Running an up to dat version of Kaspersky, and i have no problems at all accesing guru. In fact i've never, EVER seen an ad on here because they're blocked. :3

Don't know if it's Kaspersky doing what i payed for it to do, or if there's something i'm missing?

Yup, getting "Reported Attack Site!" nonsense.

Quick question, were any of you that were getting virus warnings this morning STILL getting them? More specifically, have you gotten a virus warning in the last 2 hours? I'm not looking for Google results here but rather Macafee, Avast, Norton, etc.

I'm not referring to the "attack site" label by Google but the virus' warnings in particular. Thank you.

I do, though.

My FF with NoScript considers guildwarsguru.com and attacking site.

When I try and load up this site in Firefox, I get the 'Reported Attack Site' message. The reason as given by google is as follows. I thought I should let you know, I haven't had any probs while I vistit here...

I'm running the latest Firefox and NoScript, and I'm having similar issues.

I think I was browsing GWGuru earlier this morning and had no trouble, but the past couple hours have just been like this.

~5 hours later here, I'm still getting the message.

hmm in order for me to even sign in to the site I had to go to...

Tools > Options... > Security Tab > Uncheck "Tell me if the site I'm visiting is a suspected attack site" box

I tried adding guildwarsguru.com to the Exceptions... box in that same tab and it did not work for me.

So I'll just have to remember to check that box back when leaving guildwarsguru. Hopefully this problem will be fixed soon. =D

I'm using firefox 3.0.5 btw

I would suggest NOT unticking the "tell me if site is an attack site" option on Firefox. After all, what happens if you visit a site that legitimately is an attack site? Don't decrease your security options. Just wait a few days till guru gets this resolved with google admins (who, by the way, are total pains to work with from my experience with Google Ads people).

Or you could, ya know, not go to shady sites if you do uncheck that box while this is resolved.

I'm using Opera(9.63) to bypass the warning from Firefox. Clearing all Guru cookies is still required before logging in with Opera. My PC was not affected by the malware.
