thanks for the speedy response there cash, still getting it. and from no other threads, is there an element from karr-tv.com on the page?

edit: there is also a thread called "Get to know your fellow addict" and on page 2, this also has an element from karr-tv.com and it doesnt want me to view it. is it a video or pic hosting site?

if it is a file-hosting site, some-one must have done a dodgy upload causing the whole site to be blacklisted. funny its not warning you though.

from chrome:
What is the current listing status for www.karr-tv.com/?

That's funny ... and weird. Karr-tv is my site. I ran it for years before I disconnected from the Web by taking down the index page. I send files and photos to it, including video. The link was to my own site. That is weird. I have Chrome. I'll see what's happening. I know of no malicious software there, BTW. Not to say there can't be (the site was hacked thoroughly once and that helped convince me to "screw it all" and disconnect).

 

[TropicalBob]

Hmmmm. Just using the Web address, I get, as expected. a blank page. That's what I intend. Anyone know how to run a virus checker from an FTP program? I can try to hunt down whatever is thought to be malware and delete it.

Automatic process i believe. In general terms, there is something suspicious therefore you will be warned. Suspicious thing may be anything, weird (or zero sized) .jpg found by google spider. Thing is, all automated threat searches operates on false positives (same apply to your antivirus) so it is most propable that reported threat is false.

TB check for suspicious files, unless you dont have local access to ftp running av software might be impossible.

EDIT:
Ok, what is actually reported is html/Crypted.Gen. And that is AFAIK bit of a code that is encrypted, so spider cant see that. That's a generic name (again AFAIK, i'm not security prof) so possible solution is deleting all redundand code left on server and packing rest into neat .rar archive (unpack when needed).

Use LINUX!!!! Only kidding

 

[dc2k08]

bob, you had linked to it in those threads though? and since have taken it down? i didnt get the warning previously today when i was looking at the first thread. has either of you got the same warning when using chrome? locha, you seem to know a bit about this sort of thing, why was google telling me about successful trojans on 47 machines and malicious software? it was just a link that caused the warning right?

 

[tribalmasters]

Chrome is a bit ermm lacking! Can't wait for the final and all the plugins

Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for www.karr-tv.com/

anyroad, there is the diagnostic google throws up for the site.

I've been downloading all files that I personally did not create -- for 3 hours now! It might take all night. I have so many flight simulator airplanes that I could start an air force. I store them all on the Web server site. I'll run a virus checker on the downloaded files to see if I can pinpoint the problem program. It certainly is nothing I've linked to here, eg. photos or videos.

 

[TropicalBob]

DC, your link could be very valuable. I'll run those webmaster tools and see what they come up with. As I mentioned, the site was hacked and the index page demolished. So I just took it all offline, so to speak, by not recreating the index page. It has hundreds of car reviews I've done over the past 10 years.

 

[TropicalBob]

Google help was no help. It won't "verify" for a reason I flat don't understand. I'll continue removing files to see if status changes. But computer will be downloading well into tomorrow.

It was the hacked index file causing the problem. My html editor program wouldn't even let me open it, because it was infected. I ditched it, but still get a warning message for the site. What a bummer.

I will tell you this: Say nasty, critical things about certain cult cars and you'll become a target. I had over 50 death threats -- seriously -- during my site's run (I was nasty to the Corvette and Jeep Wrangler). And the hacker demolished the site, leaving behind the trojan-loaded index page. But pointing to individual files, such as photos or videos, does not have a problem.

Still, I want those warnings gone! I'll work with the host to get things patched up.

wow, that's interesting. there are some manic fanboys out there.
