Arbtalk glitches, please report here

[ThrustSSC]

Guys, time to put my hand up: I work for Microsoft as my day job. It looks like a false positive, but annoying nevertheless. Apologies on behalf of the company. And I'm on the case to get it taken off the 'dodgy sites' register.

 

I doubt I can find out who "reported" Arbtalk as unsafe, though - no doubt privacy rules will prevent it

[Steve Bullman]

Thank you, and as I suspected.

 

Did run a full server scan though which pulled up one suspect php file which has been removed. Wouldnt have cause this though

Said this already on "songs I'm..", downloaded new app, couldn't listen/play any tunes, back to old app all is fine. Good tunes graygit and Felix btw!!

Yeh, need you to do a few things as site owner that I can't do for you. Will send you a PM.

still getting the message from Microsoft real pain as it seems to stop me posting replys or messages

Steve, I've not heard back so, and I hope you don't mind, I've submitted the filter fix request on your behalf.

 

In the meantime for folks suffering this, the warning is coming from your browser, not the site. Someone (why would they do this?!) has flagged up Arbtalk as a dodgy site. The request is in to resolve that but in the meantime you can disable the filter if you want:

 

 

 

In Windows Internet Explorer 7, click the Tools menu, point to Phishing Filter, then click Turn off Automatic Website Checking. In the dialogue box that appears, select Turn off automatic Phishing Filter and click OK.

 

In Windows Internet Explorer 8, click the Safety menu, point to SmartScreen Filter, then click Turn off SmartScreen Filter. In the dialogue box that appears, select Turn off SmartScreen Filter and click OK.

 

In Windows Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11, click the Tools button, point to Safety, then click Turn off SmartScreen Filter. In the dialogue box that appears, select Turn off SmartScreen Filter and click OK.

By the way, worth noting that the issue MAY be being triggered by one of the adverts - if an embedded advert is coming off another site which IS compromised, Arbtalk suffers, too

Im just unable to get the link to do this. I only have internet explorer through a vm on my mac and that is not throwing up any errors at all. Very annoying.
