a Warning message when doing my daily offers
« on: April 11, 2011, 06:29:15 am »
I don't know what to do about this.  I read the daily email and did the daily offer for $.15.  I did get credit for doing this, but I did not "stay on the page for 60 seconds" as required because I got this red flag warning, and couldn't go further.  I took a screen shot and saved it in my pictures to show here.

Yeah, we all got that today.

It could be a false warning, those have been known to happen. The Safe Browsing diagnostic page gave this report:

Safe Browsing
Diagnostic page for pantheranetwork.com

What is the current listing status for pantheranetwork.com?

    Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site may harm your computer.

    Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 1 time(s) over the past 90 days.

What happened when Google visited this site?

    Of the 3 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 2 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2011-04-10, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2011-04-10.

    Malicious software is hosted on 1 domain(s), including globalpoweringgathering.com/.

    This site was hosted on 2 network(s) including AS8182 (DIGITALRIVER), AS26496 (PAH).

Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?

    Over the past 90 days, pantheranetwork.com 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.

How did this happen?

    In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

Next steps:

    * Return to the previous page.
    * If you are the owner of this web site, you can request a review of your site using Google Webmaster Tools. More information about the review process is available in Google's Webmaster Help Center.



If it's a real risk, I'm sure the advertiser will look into what's causing the problem and get it fixed. I feel bad for them though if it's a false report... that happened to a friend once and it took a month for that warning to be removed.

I did both the daily email and the $.15 click and did not get this warning with McAfee Security. But I have gotten this type of warning on other ad pages on other sites. 

I did as you did, just closed down the page and reported it to the site I was on.  I use both Norton Security and McAfee Security and I think the message gave via McAfee.  What security program are you using?

My sense is that McAfee is more sensitive to potential problems than Norton; and will give you this caution notice even when the site might be okay.  But it's better to error on the side of caution -- last thing you need is a virus on your PC.

I also got the warning and I use Avast.  May not be anything but I ain't taking any chances.  I am sure FC will look into it.

I have Norton 360. My sister has more computer knowledge than I do  ???  I asked what she thought about it. She told me it sounded like the advertiser's site has been hacked, and described that warning to me.  I was worried about my Fusion Cash account!  I have recently requested cashout and this was my first time to check email and do my daily offer since my request ... Thanks for your replies! I'm sure it will be taken care of.

I have been running into the same thing on all links I try to go to on FC with the exception of the forum.  I also use Norton 360.  I'd have to guess a hack job that will be resolved at some point.  I'll just wait it out to be on the safe side.  Until then, I guess it's a good time to do the chores...or play Flower Frenzy..hmmm..tough choice..lol
