Check my site

[Colin G.]

All,

I have had a couple of people say they are getting a warning message when accessing the site via google chrome, however I am not getting the same messages when I access via google chrome. All checks I am doing via google webmaster tools are also showing the site to be clean, and my own hosting company is showing no obvious issues, although I am yet to start delving deep into the control panel.

Before I embark on an IT mission, are there any kind souls who would be willing to quickly access my site via whichever browser they use and feedback whether any browsers or antivirus/malware software gives any notifications/error messages.

Actually I have found it....panic over!!

I got Exploit Blackhole Exploit Kit (type 2704) on 3 links with AVG Free and Firefox. Assume that makes sense to you.

[TomGoodheart]

Ditto.. I couldn't see how to enlarge the warning to give the full address path. But hopefully you can sort it easily enough Colin.

I'm using Internet Explorer 8 with AVG Free.

This is what I get using Google Chrome v28:

[Peter]

I'm still getting black hole ETC

[Peckris]

Safari gave this :

(Damn! Still getting upload error!! Chris? HELP!!!!! How did the rest of you get your screenprints uploaded? Has the 'server upload error' gone away for some of you?)

Basically, it's a grey window with information on it, and a red banner at the top saying WARNING - VISITING THIS SITE MAY DAMAGE YOUR COMPUTER

I had to use Photo Bucket Peck

How did you do that? I wanted to copy the pop-up to save typing, but haven't a clue how to do it. Why are computers so difficult?

Alt-PrintScreen I suspect, then paste into a picture editor to save as jpeg.

[Paulus]

Yep, Alt-PrtScn to copy the pop up window to the clipboard, then Ctrl + V to paste it into Paint.net or whatever. PrtScn to copy the whole screen ... really intuitive eh!

[TomGoodheart]

Yeah, what they said ^

And yes, I had to upload it to photobucket and link from there. I did send a message to Chris about the direct linking not working, but he hasn't replied to an earlier email I sent so he may well be busy.

You are too old.

My calculator was the size of an Ipad in the late 70's

My 1st experience of a usable computer was 1986.

Not really. That doesn't work for me. Neither alt and prtscn together or alt then prtscn seem to do anything. Going to the pictures folder where all the jpags are kept doesn't result in an image of the screen appearing either when I do a ctl-V. Never mind, I'll just stick with writing it out manually. Pressing PrtScn on its own doesn't seem to do anything either. Peter, you are right. Maybe the computer/operator is too old - or broken.

Thanks for all the info folks...really appreciated, I believe all dodgy code has now been removed...anyone fancy a second check? I suppose it may take a while for cached versions to catch up but fingers crossed

[Rob]

clean here.

[Paulus]

Fine for me too now :)

Pressing PRTSC just appears to hold the image Rob. Like doing Copy, nothing else happens until you are in a document or whatever and tell it to Paste.

I need an open image based window - I use Paint as it came with the computer, but I guess anything you can draw in as, although you can do it in say, Word, I have no idea how you'd save that as an image file! - then with that visible press Ctrl+V. The whole screen then appears as the Paint image. I still have to save that (usually to my desktop) to use it.

That help?

I think so, thanks. It copied and saved it onto a word page which is an improvement on my pictures which didn't save previously. And doing a manual save I could now get it into the pictures folder, so I may have an image but it thinks it is a word document.

AFAIK, only on a Mac will Copy/Paste work for files, but even there I'm not sure you can paste the clipboard anywhere as a separate file.

What you need to do is use one of those key combinations to copy the pop-up to the clipboard, then open Paint, and 'Paste'. You have done that in Word instead, which will also work, but as you've discovered, you can only save it as a Word document not as a picture. If you use Paint instead of Word, you can then save it as an actual picture into your Pictures folder.

So, open the Word document, select (click on) the image there and then 'Copy'. Open Paint, and 'Paste', and then save it as a picture file.
