Is It Safe On Chrome Yet?

[Tilly2]

IE is driving me bonkers. It's so slow!

[sandyRoe]

Opera seems to be working OK without any warnings of anything

[RATTER15]

Im on FF but just had a warning that this site contains an "attack page"

[factor-fiction]

Google still won't let me in unless I'm prepared to sign a waiver saying I've seen all their serious warnings. I'm having to use IE9 which I dislike- and even that had a funny spell when my screen froze

[RATTER15]

I kicked chrome out, kept stalling and doing weird things, just appeared very buggy!

[chrisgel]

Running Firefox and have just tried to come onto AB and have been blocked with a warning "Attack Page". Overrode the warning to get here and ask what's going on.

same with me - just had the warning - I'm on firefox

I'm on IE and everything seems fine. Could it be your antivirus or something like that? I've got AVG and all ok.

Norton tells me it's a malicious image request; whatever that may be??

[Tilly2]

I haven't a clue what's happening. I have had no warnings but I did scarper out of Chrome when I read other people's posts about the 'attack.'

Opera doesn't use Google's blacklisting system.

When you request a web page using Firefox, Chrome or Safari, that request is forwarded to Google so that it can be checked against a list of sites known to have problems. (AB has been detected as taking feeds from bit.ly, which is a known source of malware, rather than directly presenting any problems). Opera and Internet Explorer don't offer that protection.

i just keep on getting these warnings, and not with chrome,,

[sandyRoe]

Would Firefox be better to use than Opera?

I have the same message. If Norton has blockedit (what I am paying them for) should I be worried. No idea what it means.

[emmie]

i use firefox and am getting the same warnings.

Sandy:
I've never used Opera, so I can't really comment on it in general. (I know that I much prefer Firefox to Chrome, but that's just personal preference).

As explained above, Firefox, Chrome and Safari offer a layer of protection which isn't present in other browsers but, as people have been finding out, that can result in warning pages which you have to decide whether or not to bypass.

Further to what I've posted above:
I've taken a look at the source code for this page and I can't see anything which looks suspicious. However I'm running Adblock Plus, so I've not got the ads (which seem to be the source of the problems).

at the moment mr. c and I use i google. I know it dosen't finish until November, but what would you advise us to change to. Tried Google chrome, didn't get on with it.

[Buenchico]

>>>I know it dosen't finish until November

Eh??? Your choice of browser has got nothing to do with any subscription-based service (such as your antivirus protection). They never 'finish'; you can have several different browsers on your computer -even running them all simultaneously if you so choose. (I've just had Firefox and Internet Explorer open at the same time).

I can't really get on with Chrome. Firefox is closer, in the way it works, to Internet Explorer; it's my personal choice:
