What browser? Do you get the same result from using a Favorite or bookmark as from typing the site name in the address bar? Same result with a different browser?

Have you scanned your system for viruses or malware?

The always correct internet seems to have two basic answers. On is that the user's environment is at fault which means clearing cache, cookies, updating browser scanning for viruses etc. The other is that LTG really is on a blacklist in which case @GAD gets to negotiate with Microsoft to find out why and fix. I might suggest we need more reports before the latter is a real possibility.

Thanks for the report. I have proven this to be the case by using Edge in a Windows10 VM. I have no idea why this is happening, but MS is kind of a PITA with stuff like this. It's not my server, either - it's specifically LTG. None of my other sites are showing a problem.

Anyway, I've submitted a removal request so we'll see what happens.

I do use Microsoft Edge. I don't know why, and don't ask me why, but should I be? Let me know what I should use, because I don't no jack when it comes to the computer. I'll try to scan my system for viruses and malware and clear my cache, cookies and updating my browser.
It's OK in google chrome.

And unless you dislike Chrome for some reason, that oughta tell ya everything you need to know. I'd just stick with Chrome.

 

[davismanLV]

Yeah, no problem in Chrome at all plus I run ESET NOD32 antivirus and it won't let me go anywhere bad. Nuffink so far....

The default browsers in every OS are not known for being the best. That said, they all have their foibles.

The issue with Edge isn't Edge so much as it's Microsoft behind it. Of all the Internet entities, Microsoft has caused me the most grief. On the one hand they do draconian stuff like this in the name of "safety", then on the other hand they continue to let Hotmail exist.

waterfox had Bitdefener block the site as suspecting phishing site. No problem in Chrome.

Remember when I was forced to upgrade the site? That was because the site got compromised and was then used to send spam emails, so I have to wonder if complaints about that are what's causing this.

Maybe but when I was managing enough that the "Your site/domain/IO" is BAD" complaints came to me I never saw anything that hadn't occurred within the previous 7 days. So they were pretty aggressive about sending the complaint.

Agreed, but nothing's happened that I'm aware of to cause it unless it's one of the ads that members don't see.

 

[GAD]

Hmm. Google Adsense is complaining about "invalid traffic". It's always something. Off to investigate.

 

[JohnW63]

Hmmm.

Do you think maybe your wife did it, she doesn't want you looking at any more guitars?
