December 31, 201213 yr I've not had any problem whatever with either IE8 or IE9, so what does that tell you? Nor have I. Gerry Howard
December 31, 201213 yr I'm using Chrome and nothing shows up, I can get on just fine. Thanks, Kevin L
December 31, 201213 yr Author Not going to start a browser war here Nothing is showing up on my Chrome either.
December 31, 201213 yr Moderator This is not a "browser war" at all; simply a reporting of factual experience. I have (but seldom use) Chrome available as well as both IE8 and IE9 (different machines)... None of those three have had any problems whatever over the past few weeks. Fr.

December 31, 201213 yr I use firefox. The only warning I got was on google search and that has been absent for two days. Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
December 31, 201213 yr Well, it is Google and Mozilla's issue! :rolleyes: I've not had any problem whatever with either IE8 or IE9, so what does that tell you? That Microsoft's supposed security software is sleeping on the job again? To be fair, they (Google) do post an accounting of what they found that led them to list the site as suspicious. And even Avsim had a malware infection some months back as I recall.

December 31, 201213 yr Moderator To be fair, they (Google) do post an accounting of what they found that led them to list the site as suspicious. And even Avsim had a malware infection some months back as I recall. It was interesting to read some of the frantic posts made by the Firefox devs over the past few weeks as they scrambled to fix problems in the way their browser interrogates Googles "safesite" database... The main point however is that the proximate cause of the problems lies outside of fs.com's control; they were simply one of many "victims" of the real problem... Fr.

January 3, 201313 yr Still infected. Came up on 2nd page this time. Still "not" infected! I downloaded a de-icing gauge last night. The site is still clean as of now. Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
January 3, 201313 yr Moderator Still infected. Came up on 2nd page this time. No, it's still being erroneously reported as "infected" by a duff browser... There's a huge difference... Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
January 3, 201313 yr Yes, there are a lot of false positives and misreporting going on by Google, including one here today. We have removed the signature and URL that was causing that reporting, but I can tell you that neither IE or FF reported issues with either the forum post or the actual site that it was pointing to. This is the kind of stuff that drives people like me (and I am sure Nels too) nuts. People jump to conclusions before all the facts are known, and before you know it, we have a stampede of "AVSIM / FS.COM is infected - why haven't they fixed that yet????".

I wasn't too impressed with the Mozilla devs who seemed inclined to blow off the problem that Firefox will cache a blacklist, and not clear it when a site is removed from the blacklist, because it would be fixed when new code is released in Firefox 19. Eventually they relented and have a fix that will go into Firefox 18. Current release (17.01) will not be fixed. scott s. .
