    Thanks for the email address, Matt. I've been having problems off and on all day today--sometimes I can get on, other times not, other times I'm on, then try to refresh the screen or go to a different thread and get kicked off.

    That's happening to me today, too.

    Yes, I do. It wasn't intentional and he caught it right away. I think it's happened to most of us at one time or another.

    No worries, bear - they wouldn't sell the site name out from under us that quickly.

    I was more worried about hijackers than them selling the site.

    and I was sure it had something to do with me being here in Russia! all kinds of frauds are possible here. I didn't even know my friends had the same problem - recently, as some may remember, my hotmail account crashed, and took away all my addresses, so I couldn't even email anyone! of course I didn't think of facebook - bears never think of facebooks - but I got to a Russian forum and asked a guy to check it for me, just to make sure it wasn't my comp. He said he got the same picture, and I started to install yahoo messenger to try to find anyone and to complain that some Russian crooks have done something unspeakable... Thank God everything resolved just after I googled yahoo messenger download and just stepped aside for a sec to re-check our site. Thank God for time zones!!! if I had to live with that horror all day long, like my overseas friends, I would have gone raving mad!!!

    If mischievous russians or any other evildoers dare to fuck with this site they will have ME to contend with. Naturally they haven't a chance.

    Anyhow, any time the site is down anyone and everyone is welcome to contact me by any means and I'll find out what I can.

    I already remember the Alamo, isn't it too much to ask of a bear?...

    Hi,

    I keep getting a warning about Malware when I access various threads. This has only started happening over the last four weeks or so.

    I'm using Windows Vista and the Google Chrome web browser.

    I just was able to 'recreate' that using Google and the Chrome browser, however I so far have only encountered it when clicking a link that led to the site. When I am logged into the site, I have yet to encounter the problem.
    I'll discuss it with the PTB for a fix.

    I'm not sure what this is but I will look into it, if it is coming up all the time while browsing the site, that is not good obviously.

    The "warning" I got forwarded to me is actually an A+ rating on the site by Google. They say we are not dangerous in any way.

    This site does not distribute Mal ware or any other type of solicitor content. If you receive a warning that says otherwise, I would love to see it.

    It is a free resource of King information and we go to great lengths to make sure members aren't spammed or put at risk when they visit. I will look into why Chrome is sending the report but the report itself is simply information about how safe the site is from what I can see.

    What antivirus software? Another message board had users reporting something similar using Avira Antivirus, which seems sensitive to certain links and banners in messages or signatures.

    I'm using Avast Antivirus.

    I've been using it for a while but it updates regularly. Maybe one of the updates is causing this?

    Okay. The same thing just happened and here is a cut and paste of the message:

    I hope that helps.

    I suspect someone posted an image that is hosted on another site that is suspect. The same thing happened on King's message board recently.

    That does help, I wish they were more specific about what they found. I suspect Bev is correct because I think that actually happened here once too. An image hosted on another site but linked here.

    Still looking into it.

    Edit--

    I'm actually a little confused because if you follow the insturctions on the website to get a current report, this is what I receive:

    Safe Browsing

    Diagnostic page for www.thedarktower.org

    What is the current listing status for www.thedarktower.org?
    This site is not currently listed as suspicious.
    What happened when Google visited this site?
    Of the 268 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2010-08-19, and suspicious content was never found on this site within the past 90 days.

    Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?
    Over the past 90 days, www.thedarktower.org did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.
    Has this site hosted malware?
    No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

    I googled 'Taylor Cujo Guitar'. When I click on the Images selection, the number one image is of my guitar, the picture is hosted by this site. Give it a try, it will give the Malware warning.
