DrakeTheDragon Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I'm getting redirected to such a page with FireFox as well.According to the source code (which is hard to get as it redirects loading the source to the error site as well, but with FireBug I got around this) it's something called "Mozilla Gatekeeper" where this page is coming from. I don't know if it's connected to Google or anything, but if it doesn't fix on its own, it might be possible Mozilla is maintaining such a list of its own and it needs to be removed from there as well.

YX33A Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Anyone else kinda hate google for "protecting" people from stuff like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 The concept is good. I just can't seem to find a "cool, thanks for warning me, now stop doing it for 24 hours" type link which is rather daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YX33A Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 That would help quite a bit, wouldn't it?*sigh*Google needs slapping again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechatech Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 As if 11:00 AM EST I get a reported attack page warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurasoma Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Yeah I'm still getting the "Reported Attack Page!" by Google also when I click any of the download pages. Do we credit lag for the win this time or just Google being over powered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 @Dark0ne; Any way Nexus gets to file a claim against the malicious ad provider?  After all, their "product" has potentially caused you to lose revenue through the eyeballs that were (are still?) being deflected away from the "legitimate" ads because of the various protection mechanisms (many/most of which you cannot control) that were triggered. Not to mention the "damage through loss of reputation", etc.  Surely the TOS between you and those responsible for providing the ads have some sort of "we promise not to ship malware" clause, don't they? Just sayin', "Hit 'em the only place it hurts... The wallet!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YX33A Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 If Google were to vanish in a nuclear explosion, would anyone here miss it much?Just a harmless question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeTheDragon Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Ignore my writing about the "Mozilla Gatekeeper". Further investigations revealed that part of the URL for the XUL-definition is only an intended pun, a reference to the film "ghostbusters". But still the warning page in Firefox seems to be originating from Mozilla itself, so the last point of my post is still valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
