Question Attack site

I just tried to browse the main page and got the following warning from either Firefox or Google:

"Reported Attack Site! This web site at www.vcdquality.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.

This should be in the "Site news" section really. I fucked up! Got all excited y'see. But I can't visit the main page without that error. It says google visited the site and spyware was installed without consent....

Just click on the ignore warning button.

Not a good day for vcdq. Visitor numbers will be hitting rock bottom.

The worrying thing is that Google, a private company, is able to pass judgement on your browsing preferences.

Since when did Google become emperor of the Interweb.

Not just Google, Firefox also
Hopefully vcdq can do something about this?!

Just tried it with two different browsers (IE and AOL) and no problem here.

Was getting pop-ups for the first time in a long while but an update to my ad-blocker definitions soon stopped those.

you can actually vote on any site.

so if gimp for example had 2 hours to kill.

you keep opening the site then marking it bad

the more people to do this then the results are filtered back to google and marked accordingly

so if the internet police could program a bot to do this, then it wouldn't take long for the red tag to be nailed to the website

then again, i thought 911 was an inside job.

can they do this?

Some of you could try reading what is reported rather than simply guessing and handing out bad advice.

"What happened when Google visited this site?

If you have inadequate protection and choose to ignore warnings...

YOU could try wondering why the fuck google thinks its opinion is wanted. If Dutch is on GaryGlitter.com then types www.vcdquality.com in his browser, at what point did he ask google to give an opinion on his choice of site?

Sounds like a firefox issue, no doubt it's the result of
this little collaboration

this is bullshit, I agree! If I want to visit a site, i don't want any input from my browser on the matter. I don't need a Big Brother browser! Now to find a way to turn this crap off....

Google Advisement

Google has been advising me not to connect to vcdquality, because its listed as an attack site.
My Antivirus (BitDefender) has given me a virus alert (Trojan.Clicker.CM).. Just thought you guys would like to know.
