Malware?
 

got a warning when clicking on Yorkie Talk in my favorites that this site is unsafe because it hosts malware. Anyone else getting this message from Google?

No not from YT....

a couple of other people have posted about this, they were advised to let the admins know

I got it also

Me too. I clicked on a link and this is what it says:
Does anyone speak computer? Can you translate please?

I've been getting it too. It's annoying and i dont understand why it came out of nowhere

Got it here, too.

this is what mine looks like. it happens every time i come to YT or click on a new page in YT. i even ran my adaware and everything but still happening =\

Is this being worked on still? I am still getting it. I clicked to proceed anyway, even though it may harm my computer. I wanted to see if there are any updates. I will be leaving now until it gets fixed!:(

Thank you for alerting us. We are working on it.

Just switched my web browser from google chrome to wimdows internet explorer. No problems yet.

When I use Firefox as I always do, I get a message that says "Reported attack page".
I went to IE, (which I never use) and I didn't get that message.
Don't know what the issue is.

We believe we have now fixed the problem with YorkieTalk.

Google reports:

Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for www.yorkietalk.com

It may take Firefox and Google (Google's site and Chrome) up to a day to "clear" YorkieTalk from the list of problematic sites.

Thank you for your patience. :)

now we can go back to our addiction

I always use firefox and got the message all day yesterday. When I went to google chrome late last night, YT was working, but when I just went to log in right now from Google Chrome, I had the message again. *sigh*

Thanks Admin! It's working just fine for me. I'm using google chrome.

Edit: Spoke too soon. Just got the warning right now. Maybe it'll be up and running tomorrow. *sigh*

I'm getting the same message. is there something i need to do?

You might want to PM Admin if it is still that way tomorrow. He did state it might take a day to "clear" YT.

Several people reported that they just changed to another browser and did not get the messages for being attacked/hosting malware. I just wanted to let you know that switching browsers does not eliminate the threat, it just means your protection may be catching the problem in one browser adn not another. Evidently there was a third party trying to attack us all through Yorkie Talk by sending a virus -- probably Trojan. My "guess" only a "guess" is that it is some sort of advertising thing, either collecting information from us or trying to direct us to other sites based on our posts and/or browsing practices. I hope that is all it was. Would be horrible if someone was trying to really send one of the dangerous viruses through our Yorkie Talk!!!

My Kaspersky alerted me that this site was under attack. The scan showed it had stopped a virus. So if your Internet Security/Virus protection does show the problem when everyone else notices it, it may well also be protecting your computer from the site. Some software will actually keep you from opening the site at all if it cannot safely quarantine the virus. But if your Internet Security does nto see the problem, then it is probably NOT saving you from the attack. There are some viruses that attack only through particular browsers. But this one seemed to come in through all of the major ones including Internet Explorer that DvlshAngel985 said she changed to. So, if you did not get the attack message, then you might want to either change or update your Internet Security programs.

Hope I explained this right -- insomnia -- been up all night again. :(

Thanks for the heads up! I'm so not computer savy. I did get the message once this morning, and now I'm not getting it at all. I went back to using Google Chrome. I hope this gets fixed soon.

We've checked and re-checked and have been cleared by Google since Sunday, November 7th. There is absolutely no issues with YorkieTalk at this time regarding any viruses or malware or trojans or badware. Your computer and personal security is our utmost concern and we will always strive to make sure our community is safe from harm for our members.

We have let Mozilla and the badware site know, but we are awaiting them to re-verify YT.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience if you are having any problems. Using IE or turning off the security check temporarily in Firefox will allow you to use YT without any issues at all. Thank you.

I am still getting these messages with both Firefox and Google Chrome.

Sunday morn I got the warning and tonight is the first time I've been able to get on with no problems. I sure hope the problem is fixed and there will be no more threats.

Thank you Admin! I sincerely thank you for trying to fix this. Sorry if we're whiny, this site is just so great we can't stay away. :D
