anyone know the owner of adminfuel?

If anyone here knows the owner of adminfuel, tell him he needs to fix his site.

I went to visit the site today, and this is what I got. I haev been a member there for several months, but have not visited in a few weeks.

 

Heh, I received this message as well. Google's little method of warning visitors.

 

It's annoying.

 

Maybe its there for an reason? and not just to annoy you? I might be wrong but still.

 

Wasn't there a problem with Google erroneously issuing warnings like this with all sorts of harmless sites recently?

 

Not sure... but I do know that the reasoning behind this was possibly (?) discussed on vB.org - I can't remember what was said.

 

It wasn't really recently. It happened on January 31st, 2009 though.

Official Google Blog: "This site may harm your computer" on every search result?!?!

 

I got to experience that. :lol:

-

Yes, I've been having this issue on AdminFuel as well. I used to check it out every-so-often, but recently I've been getting that warning.

What I don't understand is what Google has to do with it. Even if I visit the site directly (manually typing the URL in the address bar) I still get the warning. Where does Google come into play in that whole process? How is it blocking me from accessing the site?

 

No idea. Your using Google Chrome browser? That might be it. I haven't tried any other browser so don't know if that message shows in thoose.

 

Do you have the Google Toolbar installed? I always figured it was from that.

 

I don't, I used Opera, Safari and Firefox and it brings up the same thing.

 

I'm on a Mac, using Firefox, and I receive the exact same message when attempting to access the website directly. Could it be [somehow] connected to the Google search function located on the right-side of the browser window?

 

Opera doesn't have Google search, it has ASK.

 

Then I'm at a loss here. :lol:

 

Well, it could me one of three things... 1)They changed layout so something might be wrong in the templates, 2)The google ads are the ones actually causing a problem, or 3)AA it's just better.

Personally I really love #3.

 

The third (3rd) possibility is indeed the most viable.

It's odd - I noticed this a bit earlier and thought nothing of it. Now, it's confusing the hell out of me.

 

Most browsers these days have some form of malware prevention that involves keeping an updated list of possible attack sites, as is the case here. If I'm not mistaken, several, including Firefox, use a list maintained by Google. Someone must have hacked AdminFuel and put something damaging on there, triggering its inclusion in the list, and thus stopping you from accessing it.

(I also get a "Reported Attack Site!" warning from Firefox)

 

Thanks for the insight (and clarification), Justin!

 

Now this is ironic: I just got an automated email from AdminFuel saying I haven't posted in a while.
