Codex = malware

[Humanity has risen!]

It's impossible to talk to a real person with Google unless you're famous, and they're getting more control every day. It will be dismantled one day just like AT&T was.

Damn and I made a new mascot for the 'dex and everything...

Fuck! Bad memories are flooding back. Back in the days when I shared a computer with my parents my mom installed that little prick.

I don't remember what he represented it, but I remember it being bad.

So terribly bad.

He was a search engine mascot, right?

It's not a false positive when you gave me a virus you fucking dimwit. You can't just serve up unmoderated content from any stranger who gives you 10 cents then whine that your site is blacklisted "unfairly", you're responsible for what you host. Jesus you are fucking incompetent. It will be 6 months before I have all my apps reinstalled properly because of you.

That there javascript exploit, too?

 

[FeelTheRads]

Everybody who uses the term "apps" deserves to be infected.

You should have asked McAfee for help then...

*sigh*

Now the idiots at Google have flagged one of the game trainers on SP as malicious. I've already sent in two explanations on how they aren't and that virus scanners routinely report false positives with game trainers, but it looks like I'll actually have to take the file down (a file that's been up for 7 years with no issues) simply because there's no appealing what some moron at Google flags as harmful. There's no contact mail, feedback sent in with the form is ignored, nothing else I can do.

Just in case someone thought that Google doesn't own everything.

Try compressing hosted files with something like 7z and use a password. That should prevent automatic scan.
...but I wouldn't be surprised if fuckle one day decides to treat encrypted archives as malicious by default :>

Taluntain should get more of these ads.

Okay, you remember those mascots that would pop-up in Windows XP and give you advice? Like the dog in the search menu and the paper clip in Office? This was essentially something you download for Windows that would be like them...FOR THE ENTIRE OS. It was supposed to help idiots use the internet easier and would also tell jokes and shit like that. Parents would often download it because it looked cute.

And of course, it's spyware.

What in the fuck is this thread about?

Since you're obviously clueless that I'm talking about my own website where there actually WAS a false positive and not RPG Codex I'll spell it out for you. Now you can try reading my post again.

And *I* didn't give you any virus and unless you've actually got some proof that you got it from here and not one of over 20.000 other websites using the same advertising provider, please save your posts for Retardo. Feel free to sue AdExcite for "GIVING YOU A VIRUS!!!" though.

Oh, did I mention that ads from AdExcite only load for unregistered members? You look registered to me. Nobody logged in ever came into any contact with those ads.

 

[Mastermind]

What in the fuck is this thread about?

Browsers were blocking access to the codex on account of it being infected a few days ago.

 

[Cassidy]

Haven't you seen the news? Because considering them, this is very, very suspicious.

I keep telling you, Tali, people aren't logged in for eternity -- though sometimes it feels that way.

I think it's about...well, putting on your socks. Or...trying on new socks. Something like this.

Just ignore google?

 

[laclongquan]

You can ignore a dick in your ass?

 

[Glyphwright]

I was certain that Google had gained self-awareness and classified the Codex as malware after comprehending the stupidity and moral decrepitude of its members.

 

[Trash]

Nah, it's just that Taluntain is using you all for his botnet.

 

[Turjan]

The site logs me out every few days, so that line of thought is not really very convincing.

Also, the "attack site" warning is still there.

 

[PorkaMorka]

Yeah, I'm still getting the attack site warning several times a day. Firefox.

 

[DraQ]

I'm running with all the scripting killed, and, obviously, all ads blocked.

I wish Taluntain and DU all the gold-plated toilets they can possibly get, but the latter is unlikely to ever change given recent malware'y developments and intrusiveness of ads themselves.

As for the trainer being mistaken for malware, I call bullshit.
Yes, many trainers use malware'y methods to access the game as it's running, but I wouldn't expect any of them to give false positive because they don't install from browser's level.

 

[Taluntain]

Normally, the "site" doesn't log you out, ever (or at least not more than once every 365) days. If you're blocking cookies, javascript or messing with any other functions that prevent the normal operation of the forums, however, that sort of thing is to be expected.

And yes, there's a bug in Firefox 17 that the code monkeys at Mozzila just don't feel like fixing, so the warning won't go away until you upgrade to Firefox 18. After all, it's only affecting thousands of websites for a month now so clearly not a priority.

What you would expect and what is actually the case are sadly two very different things.

All I know is that the "logging off" thing is something specific to rpgcodex.net. I have other forums that I visit where I am logged off once or twice a year (I can't tell for sure, it's so rare), but here it's several times a week. Like today. I normally don't perceive this as a problem (it's not several times a day anymore, like before the forum software change), but I had to laugh at your "registered users never see this" comment.

Edit: Btw, I hope this is just some new fad:
