Google warning AGAINST CASTBOOLITS!!!

[swheeler]

Just got this warning when trying to log in, screen turns red.

Deceptive site ahead; google safe browsing recently detected phishing on castboolits.gunloads.com:confused:


Willy any idea wazzup?

[Nueces]

I reported it as an error. Has happened before.

[swheeler]

First time it happened to me. I like fishing but this is hunting season!

[Traffer]

i GOT THIS WARNING WHEN I TRIED TO LOG ON TO CASTBOOLITS TODAY!!! WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO DO? ANYONE ELSE GET THIS YET?

[tomme boy]

Same here?????????????????? I'll report it.

[Uncle Jimbo]

I just got it for the first time also.
:???: :confused: :-|

[OS OK]

I'm getting it off Google too, tried to change my search engine to Yahoo...still getting this phishing warning.

Where's a good Mod when you need one?

Since it affects all of us so far...it must be from the outside...someone screwing with us.

Every time I change pages it blocks the page until I push the ignore button.

[MaryB]

not seeing it here...

[OS OK]

same here but from google

[OS OK]

Don't understand this Mary, never run into it before, thought it was a setting on my end but it ain't.

[klcarroll]

Yup! .......I got the bogus warning for the first time today.

I filled out their little form to report it as an error, and nothing changed.

KLC

[OS OK]

maybe the warning is the philsher site...I'm too much of a dinasaur to know these things.

It's aggravating, warns every time I do anything here.

[Katya Mullethov]

Mine indicated "suspected elevated estrogen levels" .

[shoot-n-lead]

I got it, too.

[OS OK]

I'm using a Mac...is that common with you fellas?

[pertnear]

Me too...

[shoot-n-lead]

I am using Windows.

[OS OK]

So much for that idea...toldya I was a dinosaur!

[cga]

Got the same warning a few minutes ago.

[tomme boy]

It is telling me that Chrome has blocked parts of the site to protect me from potentially harmful deceptive content. ???

[OS OK]

white screen?

[tomme boy]

It is also showing "This page is insecure (broken HTTPS)"

[OS OK]

I can't copy the warning page to show it here.

[swheeler]

I'm getting it also.

[swheeler]

I can't log on without it popping up every time now, sucks.

[OS OK]

Well I'm going to bed...hope it's gone tomorrow...seeya fellas.

[NavyVet1959]

I'm getting it via FireFox and Chrome.

But, it appears to only happen if I try to connect to the site from a browser that has also logged onto Google. If I connect to this site from a "private window", I do not get the red page warning.

[shoot-n-lead]

I am getting via Opera...and, yes...NV, it seems to be coming through Google.

[root]

Getting it too on a very secure linux box and all the browsers.

Leads me to believe something has been installed on the server that is less then honest.
More then likely by a 3rd party. CC's will be flying tomorrow due to BF shopping.

Rich

[Minerat]

Just got it too. win 7 foxfire

[JSnover]

Same on my dinosaur Mac OS X.
According to Google the site "has been reported." Probably just someone trying to screw with us by submitting a bogus warning to Google.

[Hick]

Maybe the problem is Google Chrome?? I use Google, but not Google Chrome, and I don't get any such warnings.

[JSnover]

I'm running Safari with a Google homepage. On the warning pop-up there is an option to report an error. For what it's worth I reported this as an erroneous report and explained the site does not ask for personal/financial information.

[runfiverun]

we normally have an update and a systems check in about 2 hours let's see what happens then.
in the meantime i'll get this report into the admin section so Willy see's it.

[tdoyka]

i've gotten it too. i have chromebook.

[wingspar]

I just got that big red screen and I wasn’t even logging in. Just followed a link in email to a thread I was following. Never seen anything like that before. Got that Google thing and verified that the site was good. Deceptive site? What the....? You mean people don’t really cast bullets and shoot guns? I’ll be danged!

[therealhitman]

probly all dem fancy new ads.

[rondog]

Ain't seen it.......yet. I usually surf on my Samsung phone, maybe that's why.

[MaryB]

Okay I got it to popup by accessing this from a google search. It might be a redirect on googles end triggering it.

[AKbushman49]

Mods- Just tried to access the site my Browser Firefox comes back with "Danger Deceptive site", and attempted to block it. This I thought was odd as I was on 8 hrs ago never had this happen before. bushman

just tried it again using Bing as search engine, got to the site but came back with "invalid redirect".

[WFO2]

Mine just did the same thing as well .

[shoot-n-lead]

There are 2 other threads about the others having this problem.

I got the warning also

[WFO2]

Same warning here using Firefox .

[AKbushman49]

Mods- Everything back to normal, now.11:27 AK time

[RugerFan]

I got the red warning page using Chrome.

[Traffer]

2:32 AM Nov 25,2016 Central Standard Time. Just did it to me.

[NYBushBro]

Ditto

[Traffer]

Still getting it on Chrome and Firefox. You can stop it by turning off the security features to stop phishing and forgery websites but we SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THAT. Somebody is messing with us.

[smokeywolf]

I never connect to Cast Boolits through or from anything that is made or provided by Google. Google blacked out all info that revealed the truth about the clintons. Stay away from anything Google whenever possible and practical.

[shoot-n-lead]

4:00AM Eastern...still doing it.

[AKbushman49]

I just had a couple of successful logon's but now it's back to the "Danger Deceptive" site warning. 12:16 AM AK time. bushman

[shoot-n-lead]

I never connect to Cast Boolits through or from anything that is made or provided by Google. Google blacked out all info that revealed the truth about the clintons. Stay away from anything Google whenever possible and practical.

I won't stay away from Google...sometimes I want answers to questions...right now...and don't want to go through the hassle of trying to find what I am looking for by using the other search engines...I have used a LOT of them and none of them are in the same league as Google. This is my experience...glad yours is better.

[leftiye]

Google may be 8888888 us. Google is anti gun?

[Smoke4320]

How do you cook phish

[abunaitoo]

I got it just this afternoon.
Didn't happen in the morning.
I'm on firefox.
I do use google as my search engine.

[Ole Joe Clarke]

I got it when I hit the cast boolits button, at a little past 4 am, Central Time. :-(

[matrixcs]

I guess they are doing the gun-baners bidding now.. What next?

[Taylor]

0516 and I got it too

[6bg6ga]

Tried several times to log on and receive this warning but nothing happened.

[George Mabry]

my Foxfire browser just gave me the warning for the first time

[Sasquatch-1]

I got right in at about 0615

[marvelshooter]

I just got it too. I flagged the site as not deceptive and to let me in.

[castalott]

I got it too...several times.... I was already here and it broke in to mess up a post... several times.... it is messing with my 1st amendment rights...

[SteveS]

I'm getting it this morning also. It looks like my browser, Firefox, is doing the warning.

[NoAngel]

I was getting it this morning until I disabled it under my security settings.

[Rick Hodges]

I got it at 7:15 am Eastern Time.

[ioon44]

I just had this happen with google, it tried to block with "Danger Deceptive site" warning at 6:30 am.

[bullet maker 57]

Not getting it here.

[DerekP Houston]

No issues here @ 637am cst

[fa38]

I am using internet explorer with Windows 8.1 and have not seen anything like the above messages (danger deceptive site). I have also been on the site every day this week.

[OS OK]

Changed my browser to Yahoo and still going here @ 4:42.

[tomme boy]

6:42 CST still here

[grizzly]

I am seeing errors these coming from the openx ad server. Seems to be that it's been hacked or a specific ad code has become corrupt or infected.

[Fernando]

same same - make it stop

[pressonregardless]

just received the same message......never seen it before signing into CB.

[OS OK]

SO...the warning is meant to steer people away from this site even before they get here to log in? Non members steered away before the cruise the site?

That's malicious intent on someones part...dontcha think?

[OS OK]

Where's a computer nerd when you need one?

[Wise Owl]

Win7 using latest Firefox browser. I got it also at 8am.....

Gonna surf to another site then back and see if it happens again......

[Wise Owl]

Went away and come back and no warning this time as I said it wasn't a phishing site the first time I got it. Something hinky going on either with ads above or we are on someone's list now and it was reported as a bad site to Firefox.

[Shepherd2]

Just had it happen with Firefox.

[BrassMagnet]

I'm running Safari with a Google homepage. On the warning pop-up there is an option to report an error. For what it's worth I reported this as an erroneous report and explained the site does not ask for personal/financial information.

I reported it as an anti-gun/anti-second amendment attack.

dsh1106 queried me by text message a few minutes ago inquiring if the site was down. I told him what I did and he ignored. When dsh1106 ignored, many new adware tabs opened up on his computer. Maybe there is adware/trojan here?

[square butte]

No worries - The UN is now in charge of the internet

[Dusty Bannister]

I am on firefox. When I tried to enter through the normal main page link, I got the warning. When I used the link from a notice of a private message, it went right through. 7:12 AM Central time. Things were normal last night. The PM notice was from last night, if that makes any difference.

[OS OK]

So...someone reports that this site is 'phishing' and automatically we get this?

Lots of people report it as false and nothing happens?

WTH? I call that a Malicious Attack of the first order.

Get a rope boys!

[DCP]

Same here, but from google

[DCP]

Unhappy HRC supporter

[DerekP Houston]

Interesting, i tried on firefox and I do get the alert. No problem with chrome though I do have ad block enabled.

[rhjeepdriver]

Also getting the warning. Linux with Opera and Chromium.

[OS OK]

Derek, I too have addblock and it doesn't help...every click I make here the warning comes up first.

[Wise Owl]

Ok, logged off, cleaned my cookie caches and rebooted the puter. Came back and got the red screen again. And yes, it's from Google via FireFox.

There has to be some sort of malware here doing this. Whether it was planted by some idiot gun hater or Google, (also a gun hater) is unknown. And that's the last of my nerd skills. But in order for the warning to come up there is something here activating it when you click on this site. Until that is gotten rid of, it will continue.

[square butte]

I am using Start Page and have had no trouble so far

[Morgan61]

I just now got the same warning:

http://castboolits.gunloads.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=181452&d=1480049193&thumb=1

I was going here from Yahoo's home page to here using Firefox as my browser.
It was at 8:10 AM CST

[OS OK]

Why is it that the members here are all wound up over this and there has been no official word from the owners or their technical staff?

[Nick Quick]

I got that **** too at 9.15 Eastern Time.

[Fordcragar]

I'm getting this too, on my IPad. I'll try it later on my desktop and IPhone. Didn't get it last night.

[Wise Owl]

Why is it that the members here are all wound up over this and there has been no official word from the owners or their technical staff?

Because it's a pain in the backside.

[Morgan61]

I found that if I keep my browser (Firefox) open and the try to reenter this site after having been here already it's OK.
But once I close my browser, the first time I try to enter this site afterwards I'll get the warning.

[OS OK]

So. we are all getting this in different degrees, right?

A few minutes ago I tried to send 2 PM's and after clicking the 'send message' button I got a blank page. Message didn't go out.

[BUCKEYE BANDIT]

Yep. me too, Firefox.

[Mike W1]

Firefox, Win 7. Just did it to me 8:30 AM on 11-25

[Wise Owl]

Ok, after actually doing a bit more reading on the following page which was linked to in the Red blocking page,
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-phishing-and-malware-protection-work?as=u&utm_source=inproduct

We probably have some sort of ad on this site that is malware. That has to be removed then the admins can request this forum to be removed from the malware list. These links are on the page I posted above. But this has to be done by an admin who has access to the internals of our forum. There is a bad ad somewhere and that's what the browsers are blocking.

I recommend everyone to run their anti-malware programs and see if anything turns up in their computers. Malwarebytes is a good one if you don't already have it. They have a free version.

[MostlyLeverGuns]

Got the warning, Firefox, left a reply.

No problem here on iOS 7.1.2 through Tapatalk ;)

[Nick Quick]

OK, what I did as a temporary measure in order remove this annoying thing to happen was to open a Google page, go to settings, on the very bottom click on advance settings, then scroll a bit until Privacy, then UNCHECK the "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites". Then the problem stopped.
Now why Google consider CB a dangerous site is another issue which the administrators will probably fix it in a matter of time, so I can go back and check again what I unchecked.

[Boaz]

Same here , sent a report that was not a bad site and it disappeared . Working ok now .

[OS OK]

That might cause even more problems, even temporarily...besides, being a non-nerd with these damn machines, I'm afraid to click on anything I'm not sure of.

[jmort]

Respectfully request that site tech "department" fix this. I am using phone to access site as the warning is rare and needs to taken seriously if you are using Chrome.

[OS OK]

Boaz...I did what you said and it didn't help...

[longbow]

Got the pop up warning last night on both Google and Opera and I am still getting it on both Google and Opera this morning so it isn't just Google.

However, last night I was posting and had the warning pop up and interrupt me several times while I was typing where this morning that part seems to be okay.

[Hickory]

Good by free and uncensored internet.

[Hamish]

(ahem KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT GOOGLE, WHY WOULD ANYONE BE USING IT TO START WITH,,,,,,,

[OS OK]

Yesterday I clicked on the RotoMetals and Titan sites within a few minutes of each other...has anyone else having this trouble done that?

It looks like other threads are running by other members and they aren't here complaining...could that be a commonality that brought this on?

This too...I can't get a PM through to another member...it just gives me a blank page after sending message...anyone else having that problem?

Try it.

[Boaz]

I have tried a few things out of curiosity , I believe it's google . If you have the form up just don't click off .

[OS OK]

I have tried a few things out of curiosity , I believe it's google . If you have the form up just don't click off .

If I don't click it off I can't get back here...just left staring at the warning page.

[brstevns]

Had to go to Google settings and make it a trusted site

[OS OK]

This is getting pretty danged annoying...wonder how long it's going to take before it catches the attention of the site owners or techs?

[Moonie]

I got it just a few ago and all I did was refresh my still open tab here...

[Down South]

Getting the same warning using my PC, Windows and Chrome.

[swheeler]

Still get the warning when trying to log in, maybe the 'phishers' aren't done with their Black friday shopping yet.

[44man]

Got it too. Blue screen from Firefox.

[FrontSite]

Yes! I recieved the same warning. Kinda torques me, been visiting this great site for a while with out any problems that were not my own cause. Now it seems that a person or persons with WAY too much time on thier hands has to mess with the site. Hope it gets fixed soon.
Ive reported it to Google.

[tazman]

Did it to me just now. Using Firefox.

[Phlier]

This has been a common occurrence on gun related forums lately. IMO, a group of anti-gunners are going around to the various gun sites, and reporting them as phishing sites to Google. I've never been the vindictive type, but it makes me want to do the same thing to them (I wouldn't, though, as I refuse to stoop to their level).

[tazman]

Just did it again using chrome

[JSnover]

A temporary fix for Safari users is open "Preferences," click the "Security" tab and de-select "Warn when visiting a fraudulent website." You can re-select it if you need to surf the rest of the Great Uncharted InterWeb.

[RoadBike]

10:15 AM, 11/25/16, Firefox, Windows 10, and I got the "Deceptive Site" message as well.

[Down South]

I can get in using IE with no warning. Google and IE are the only two browsers that I have on this PC.
I can get in with my iPad using Safari with no warning.

I don't think there is a problem with our site....
The problem seems to be associated with Google.

[runfiverun]

that's what I'm thinking too.
I still use IE-7 and haven't seen the warning.

[Tackleberry41]

Contrary to what some may think, doubt its some liberal plot. But more likely at some point in the last 12hrs, some hacker somewhere was making problems, and it got reported to firefox, so now they are warning people. I logged on just a few minutes ago and it gave the warning.

[jmort]

Why is this being ignored ???
Should be fixed or explained

[USSR]

Title changed by Moderator.

original title: Deceptive Site Ahead.



All of a sudden, I am getting a "Deceptive Site Ahead" warning when trying to access your site with Firefox. I am able to access your site without getting the warning using Internet Explorer. What's going on and what do I or you need to do? Thanks.

Don

[Taylor]

1025 and still getting it

[runfiverun]

bing and google usage seems to be the common theme here.
anybody using IE and/or a different link to access the site have no issues.

[dverna]

I use IE to access the site and so far no issues. Hoping it stays that way.

Don Verna

[WILCO]

I didn't get the warning but did get pop-ups for various products.

[OS OK]

I'm using Mac and Safari and Yahoo...I have the issues.

[Down South]

After reading more of the posts in this thread and another thread dealing with the same issue, I notice several browsers are flagging the site.

I know back in the day when I had a bit of knowledge of how sites were blocked, I found out that our blocked web sites came from a central data base owned by a third party. This party would upload sites to be blocked and were on contract to sell through continuous automatic upload to their customers. It could be that Google and other browsers are using a service such as this?

[frkelly74]

So what is the best way around all this nanny nonsense?


Of course is dangerous, is gun.

[GL49]

It's Bush's fault. Or maybe the poor losers in the last election. I get the warning every time I click on anything at the site.

[Down South]

I'm not having any problems with Safari. I just tried with two different iPhone's and my iPad. All three went to Cast Boolits without any warning...

[Kraschenbirn]

Win10 & MS Edge...no warning, no problem signing on.

Bill

Hmmm...update. After browsing thru a half-dozen threads, I signed on using Chrome (from my cellphone). Again, no problems, no warnings, no pop-ups.

[Milsurp Junkie]

I got it from Chrome just now as well. It was fine yesterday, but this morning gave me the same error.

[mold maker]

Same here.

[ole 5 hole group]

I have a fairly decent virus program and for the past couple of months my virus software has "intercepted" "infections" from this site. I would say 95% of the time I get no warnings from this sight but often times I can't go to other sites without restarting.

Someone out there may be messing with us, as this is a new wrinkle - nothing vicious, just annoying.

[375supermag]

Hi...


I got the same warning today when I tried to access the site on my desktop unit in the den.
I get the same message when I access another site(tank net forums...that has been ongoing for quite some time[months]).

I think certain sites with a certain type of content(firearms, weapons, military, etc) are being targeted by some group(Google???).
No real proof but it seems strange...maybe someone with a deeper understanding of computers knows how to research this. I use computers but rely on others with specific skill sets to deal with the technical aspects thereof.

[Down South]

So far the problem seems to be with Google, Firefox and maybe one or two other browsers. I believe it is related to where these browsers get their flag or block site info. I would bet it is from the same source.

I have been able to get into our site without any flags or warnings using Internet Explorer and Safari.
My advice is to try another Browser if you have one to see if you can get in without warning until the problem is fixed.

[mold maker]

I found it just now for the first time. O making a list and checking it twice??????

[HollowPoint]

I use safari and I'm getting the same warning. It started this morning.

HollowPoint

[mcdaniel.mac]

I've seen the same thing happen on a couple forums, usually it's because someone linked or hotlinked something from a site that is known bad. The last time I remember it happening, it was an image someone had linked from a risky site.

[HABCAN]

.......when trying to log in this A.M., Google Chrome shows me a red screen and says this is an 'unsafe site subject to phishing'. GEE!

Be aware.

[Down South]

Hi...




I think certain sites with a certain type of content(firearms, weapons, military, etc) are being targeted by some group(Google???).
No real proof

You are correct. In an earlier post in this thread, I mentioned something similar to this. A little more expanding of my knowledge from my previous post. When I was able to ask how the company was able to block or flag sites, what they used..
One of their answers was key words. I doubt that is what is flagging this site as you can probable open up other gun related sites without the warning.
I believe someone somehow added Cast Boolits to the data base that Google and some other Browsers use to flag sites.

[condorjohn]

Same here , on CHROME and IE

[mold maker]

No warning through IE.

[gtgeorge]

Just got it on Firefox. I allowed it and reported it as not true. If all of you report it as not true they will remove the flag. Apparently a group got together and reported CB?

[edler7]

I got the same warning. I had to go find a safe space and color in a book for a while until my fear went away.

Then I reported to Google they were as full of **** as a Christmas goose.

[Battis]

I have a program called "Malwarebytes Anti-malware" that blocked the site that was preventing me from accessing this site. So, I'm guessing it's malware that's causing the problems and not a virus. Someone with more tech knowledge could explain it better.

[Shooter6br]

On Chrome
ON ANDROID SMART PHONE NOW

[Bad Water Bill]

AAHA Back again for my daily fix.

Yes they blocked me as well.

[Ola]

What the heck is this!?!? Has someone somehow "infected" CB?

[OS OK]

Is Cast Boolits just ignoring all this...must the members here troubleshoot for them when we haven't a clue? No official word as of yet from the forum?

[woodbutcher]

Don`t know if this is the right place for this,but here goes.Just got a notice from Google Chrome that there is a problem with phishing software here on Castboolits.Hope that No1 can sort it out.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

[Artful]

I just got it also????

[SteveS]

It could be they're trying to figure it out and will post when they have info.

[rda72927]

I'm a Windows 8.1 upgrade to 10, using Edge as my browser. Haven't seen any warning's... I log on (and of) several times daily..

[Artful]

I just got it when trying to log in - Chrome - Vista

[GoodOlBoy]

I got it on both and older windows 7 machine (IE and Firefox) AND a windows 10 machine I am moving to (IE and Firefox). On both machines this didn't pop up until after windows updates last night. However the page report I filled out to assure these clowns that castboolits is safe went to google each and every single time. I would suspect the root of this issue is probably a security update that was done on the google parent servers.

God Bless, and One Love.

GoodOlBoy

[Andy]

I am getting this too, is there a genuine reason it could pop up (like an illegitimate 3rd party is intercepting data people send to the site?)? I'm not worried about the site owners or anyone on the site doing anything shady, but if someone else "hacked" it and can read pms for personal information that would be more concerning.

I hope it can get fixed soon.

[Chiefdan]

I got it also

[OS OK]

Speaking of PM's, I can't even get one through.

[jonp]

Well, when I erased the cookies and history it was blocked. I downloaded Firefox to my android and it was blocked. I went online when I got home and it was blocked in Firefox. I reported that it was done in error and ignored the warning and here I am. When you are blocked at least in Firefox a red screen pops up. You can hit a button that says "ignore this warning" and it will take you to Castboolits which now has a red banner at the top. On the left it says "deceptive site!" and on the right are 2 buttons. "Get me out of here"! and "This isn't a deceptive site". Hit the second one and it takes you to a screen that says "incorrect forgery alert" or something like that and you can report that this is a safe site.

Sometimes malware or phishing makes its way into a site without the owners knowledge and someone reports the site. The Owner should check that nothing is on it and then He can also fill out a google page to get removed.

Everyone should report that this is not a deceptive site to help this process along.

[smoked turkey]

Just checking in for the record. Got it here too. Obviously some one or some group is trying to guide where we go late yesterday and today. Just don't give any of your important, secret, or other info to anyone until this is taken care of. I recommend not using your credit card unless you are absolutely sure the sight is secure.

[jonp]

Ok, after actually doing a bit more reading on the following page which was linked to in the Red blocking page,

Remember several months ago when some people, including me, saw ads in the banner for hardcore porn for some reason? Same thing I think just happened again

- In chrome you can click through the warning page by clicking "details" then "continue to this untrusted site"

- You can also "fix" this problem by going into your browser settings and changing things, for example in google chrome go to "settings" scroll down, click "advanced settings" and uncheck the box next to "protect my computer from risky sites" now you can access the site with no warnings

- I think there is some risk to this so I wouldn't transfer personal or payment info on this site until this gets resolved. I'm not a web expert so maybe I'm being too cautious with that but the fact that different people/locations/computers/browsers are all having this happen suggests it is more than a quirk. And it's black friday which would be the smartest day for an online scammer to try something new.

- People who aren't getting it may just have their browser settings set to not block risky sites, this could be something you set up years ago, you would be at the same risk as anyone else in that case.

Same here with Foxfire

[BulletFactory]

mine too OLD computer, windows 7 Chrome 1:50pm Michigan

[BulletFactory]

Google is VERY anti gun.

[Ola]

"Chrome has prevented parts of this site in purpose of protecting you from misleading content". (I translated that, so it is not absolutely accurate.)

The funny thing is everything seems to be the same...

[Stick_man]

I got the same message with Chrome, but was able to work through it anyway. Kind of a hassle but works. I can see how it would drive first-time visitors away and even non-members that have visited before. Something is not right.

[Silfield]

I gother the red screen of doom all day here in the UK. Ended up having to do some work instead!

[mcdaniel.mac]

AAHA Back again for my daily fix.

Yes they blocked me as well.
Could be that an advertising host was compromised, as others remarked this is prime time for credit card fraud.

[NavyVet1959]

FireFox is no longer blocking it on my computer, but Chrome still is. That's even stranger....

[smokinfeathers]

Im getting a phishing site detection n warning

[hanleyfan]

I got the same warning at 2:30 eastern standard time today, If I had not been a member here for years I would not have risked it and left, but I knew better and still could not figure out how to bypass the warning until I saw a small emblem at the bottom of page that said enter dangerous site.

[Elkins45]

I'm using a Mac...is that common with you fellas?

I'm getting it on my Mac using the Safari browser.

[marlin39a]

Not finding a problem on my mini IPad using Firefox. I do nothing with Google.

[OS OK]

I'm getting it on my Mac using the Safari browser.

Yes, same here...even changed my Google to Yahoo but it's still the same...every move I make here I have to cancel this warning...even to refresh the page or to click on 'todays posts'....this is beyond an inconvenience!

[Faret]

Just happened to me and I am still running XP with chrome!

[starmac]

I am seeing none of this YET, maybe it just takes the net a long time to get up here to Alaska. lol

[wingspar]

Got it last night and I just got again. Both times following the link in email to a thread I was subscribed to. I’m on the latest version of Firefox. 50.0

[AggieEE]

I got the deceptive site warning. A liberal probably trying to mess with us.

[OS OK]

Starmac...Andy said in post #124 above, this...[[- You can also "fix" this problem by going into your browser settings and changing things, for example in google chrome go to "settings" scroll down, click "advanced settings" and uncheck the box next to "protect my computer from risky sites" now you can access the site with no warnings]]

He said a lot more regarding warnings in doing this...could be that your settings already reflect these settings and you are unaware.

I can't say for sure as I'm a computer dinosaur!

[square butte]

Try using Start Page with internet explorer. I have not had the problem yet - Knock on wood

[wingspar]

Got it last night and I just got again. Both times following the link in email to a thread I was subscribed to. I’m on the latest version of Firefox. 50.0 Time for a phish fry.

[Kos1966]

iPad is working fine

[wingspar]

I have the box to protect my computer from risky sites checked, and I will not uncheck that for any reason. I’ll just tell that stupid red box to let me in.

[rhill]

It is a communist plot, I mean democratic plot

[tazman]

Still getting the warning after repeatedly telling them the site is not a problem.

[tomme boy]

Getting it on another site as well.

I won't stay away from Google...sometimes I want answers to questions...right now...and don't want to go through the hassle of trying to find what I am looking for by using the other search engines...I have used a LOT of them and none of them are in the same league as Google. This is my experience...glad yours is better.

shoot-n-lead, not trying to talk you out of using Google, but as far as search engines go, one of the best I've used is dogpile.com. It searches multiple search engines (I believe that includes Google) and does not edit or blacklist subjects or topics from its results.

[waksupi]

If you disable the "protect my computer from risky sites", you run a good chance of having unwanted and truly dangerous sites that run in the background on other pages infect your computer. Some of the news sites are bad about this.

[Wise Owl]

Startpage search engine uses Google to do it's searches but blocks any tracking "by" Google. It's safe to use. Doesn't track you at all.
And you're search engines or browsers have nothing to do with the problem. The problem is above in those ads. Someone has hacked them at "their" owners sites. Yes, even Cabelas can be hacked.

I can go away and then come back in with no problems but if I clean my cookies using CCleaner Free or one of my other anti-**** programs, I get the warning again. Seeing as it's so many different browsers affected then it is something here triggering the response by your browsers security.

And yes, it's up to Castboolits owners/geeks to find the problem and fix it. In the meantime I will be running anti-malware programs just in case it gets into our machine here at home.

Mostly it's just annoying except to those who are getting popups. Those people need to up their security a bit or not. Ad blocking software addons to your browsers might help also. I see mine are blocking 3 ads at the moment.

[skeettx]

YUP, Firefox to me also
Hmmmmm

[salpal48]

This happened to Me all Day, Google, MSN, Yahoo,.

[ShooterAZ]

It is malware related, and I think it has to do with fake Adobe Flash Player updates. If you get a pop-up regarding Flash update, DO NOT CLICK ON IT!

[Tenbender]

Me to. Democrats damming our site. We are terrorist ! I guess.

[Chris C]

Same here! Gettin' rather irritated with the situation. If you go into the site, they say the owners of the "alleged" deceptive site may request they be removed from the list. Since I'm neither the owner or anyone in the "upper room" of this site, would someone with the authority please take care of this. Gettin' really frustrating trying to get on the site.

[pressonregardless]

Happened to me early this morning, but hasn't happened since.

[Duckiller]

I am on a MiniMac and I got the warning today. Was too busy to lon on yesterday. Clicked on ignore warning and page wasn't bad and it all went away. Hopefully to stay away.

[marlin39a]

I just got it on my desktop. Windows 7, Firefox browser.

[leadman]

I got it on Firefox when I logged on a bit ago.

[bruce drake]

4:45PM EST and first log in of the day. Windows 10 with Google Chrome.

OH, And I saw the first jug of Alliant HERCO in the last decade today in my local gunshop!!!!!

[garym1a2]

I got it on chrome. Not on my fire tablet.

[No_1]

Willy is actively working this issue. It has been a while since this has happened here - I guess our number came around again. Keep your virus protection up to date and don't click on strange links.

[No_1]

Willy is actively addressing this issue. Please ensure your virus protection is up to date and don't click on strange looking links.

[BulletFactory]

5:10 pm, Michigan, same thing again.

[brstevns]

Well like I had posted earlier go to Google settings and make it a trusted site and the problem goes away

[BulletFactory]

It is a communist plot, I mean democratic plot

same thing, yup

[tomme boy]

I went to my mothers house and I had to do some updates to her computer. I was getting the same message as the other post I just put up. I updated her computer as the ActiveX flash was out of date. A new version from Microsoft replaced it and now there are no warnings on her computer at either site.

[Reverend Al]

I was getting the same problem using my usual browser (Firefox), but opened the site in Internet Explorer and it's working fine now ... ????

[Reverend Al]

I was getting the same problem with Firefox, but now that I've opened the site in Internet Explorer I'm not having any problems? (2:31 pm PST)

[blixen]

FYI: Besides the deceptive site warning, i have been getting sent to extremely squirrely sites when I return to a Castboolits tab after it's been open a while. I'm using foxfire.

[RogerDat]

One of the prime targets for hacking to spread malware is the servers that provide advertising content across many websites. Since the ads will appear on legitimate sites people will be less suspicious. So if hackers can get the advertising servers to serve up their malware they are more likely to get victims.

Browsers are getting better at spotting content being added to the site that is suspicious. Time magazine and assorted news and commercial companies web sites have been in that position where ads on their site were links to malware or cross site attack.

The other thing is sometimes the certificates used by hosting companies to validate the identity of web sites and allows HTTPS (secure https) communication to work will expire or something will change that makes the certificate information not match the server or site. Browsers will and should warn people about that. If the certificate is not valid no way to know if the site is a "fake" version pretending to be a legitimate site or just a clerical error that makes the certificate appear invalid.

[runfiverun]

it's a google thing.
we are working on it.
it's not the first time.

[firefly1957]

Windows 7 and i have the same issue on Google Chrome i reported they are wrong no response or fix yet same happens each time i open a new post they are probably mad hillary lost!

[fred2892]

It is malware related, and I think it has to do with fake Adobe Flash Player updates. If you get a pop-up regarding Flash update, DO NOT CLICK ON IT!
It cant be anything to do with flash as member shooter6br was getting the problem on android and you cannot use flash on android.

The warning, (Red Page) is not the fault of your browser or a search engine. Cast boolits has been hacked with malware. It's happened before and they did it again. Probably in the ads at the top of the page. Just because you click ignore and can read and post doesn't make the problem better. Unless you are running antimalware on your machine or iphone, you can pick up whatever it is that the malware is trying to install on your machine.

Cast Boolits has a bug somewhere.

Hope that was clear enough.

In case you missed this.........>

[Cherokee]

Win 10, IE, no problems getting to site.

[Nick Quick]

The above statement makes sense because when I click to still go on that evil malefic site Google is warning me about it, opens but not completely. To open it completely I have to go on the browser bar where my anti-malware icon is and click on the icon and specifically ask to open the site completely.
At first only a part of the adds are visible, after I purposely ask for completely opening of the site all the adds opens up. I guess is one of those adds who carry a sort of bug or something.

[Wise Owl]

It is malware related, and I think it has to do with fake Adobe Flash Player updates. If you get a pop-up regarding Flash update, DO NOT CLICK ON IT!

Uh, Adobe Flash did just have a legitimate update. So, if you use it, it needs to be updated. If you are worried about it, if you use Firefox, go to tools, then addons and see if your version needs updating.

[Handloader109]

Me too, If you use Firefox, Open up the castboolits main page, copy it, and then open up the menu on the far right top of page, the three horizontal lines.
Click on OPTIONS, then on left side, Security. then TOP line far right - EXCEPTIONS and then Past the castboolits link and then the ALLOW button.

[whisler]

Windows XP, Chrome gives me the same warning. Details indicate some type of phishing scheme.

[Circuit Rider]

No.1,runfiverun, Thanks to you Guys for all you do!! CR

[buckshotshoey]

Same here. Firefox on my android, and Chrome on the laptop. Probably a disgruntled Hillary voter.
Has anyone noticed any problems on any other gun related website?

[DougGuy]

I submitted my report and said this is a public FORUM, that no software is installed here.

Now how do you do it on an Android that has Firefox? Cant find the options.

[gpidaho]

Windows 7 & Yahoo here, no warnings so far. Gp

[Hick]

In all browsers (firefox, chrome, etc) there are security settings that you personally can adjust. Mine (Firefox) and many others default to "Block reported phishing sites". You can change that if you want. I changed mine and it does not give me a phishing warning about this site.

[SP5315]

Just got the same warning myself.

[GOPHER SLAYER]

They just blocked me with dire warnings which I ignored.

[shaper]

I got it also. Tried all day but can't get by it.
I'm on my phone now.

[castalott]

Thanks to the Leadership for getting on this... I bet this site has an infinite amount of knowledge available should anyone ask for it. It seems boolet casting pulls in the over curious from all fields.....
