Never had this problem and as you can see, I just made this post...anyone else experience this on Neowin?

I had it on a few posts before, but no longer using Chrome ... need some extensions in firefox :l <3 FireFTP

It must be a sig that contains an embedded image from that site.

I PM'd the member where the sig is hosted on getdropbox.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I've seen this happen before with members sigs hosted on DropBox. TehSpookeh's old one used to cause it.

Edit: Haha, looks like it's me this time? :p

Too many false positives, so I turned it off a long time ago. Just go the Chrome Options>Under the Hood>Privacy and uncheck the phishing/malware protection. Besides, most of us here on Neowin are seasoned experts to know when we stumble upon an unsafe website.

Pretty silly that you need to do that though. The other browsers don't seem to have this issue with DropBox.

There's a lot of members who use Dropbox on Neowin though, so this is going to be a recurring problem if some work around isn't sorted. I'm using Imageshack now for my sig, but it's not like they are the most secure site as we've witnessed recently ;)

Just disable that function.

Unless you are touching a PC for the first time,you know very well a site as this one can only be a false positive,so instead of being helpful,that message is a nuissance.

Quit trying to harm peoples computer, DrunknMunky!

[master2k27]

I have been getting it all day its a pain.

owned. HAHA I agree though, the site is much better than Imageshack or some others.

[master2k27]

It is still happening it must be someone ease to.

[mad_onion]

ah ok I'm glad there's a way to turn it off. why someone couldn't have posted that in the thread I made hours before this I don't know.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Well give us the details of what image is being blocked and then we can track down which member's signature it is.

I've moved all of mine to my own hosting, so hopefully I'm still not causing it :laugh:

[Udedenkz]

Hmmmm.... *evil smile* thanks for the idea.

The issue is that not everyone will do that, or even think to do that. Many would visit Neowin, get a phishing warning, and leave the site.

That's the issue when you have one company controlling definitions for security: it damages the little guys.

[shockz]

I just got a warning viewing this thread... :blink:

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

What image was it?

Surely it can't be my sig still even on private hosting?

Stop breaking the rules then shockz :p

Yeah NOD32 gives me false positives when browsing Neowin sometimes :/

I use photobucket for signatures/images, no one seems to have issues with them...

[master2k27]

Even if i disabled sigs i still get it :(

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

I host a lot of stuff on dropbox (but not my sig as I don't have one :p)

They might as well label any hosting sight as having malicious content if they're gonna label dropbox.

Dropbox is one of the better free hosting sites. What were these idiots thinking when they added that filter?

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

No issues from me using:

Firefox, IE, Chrome and Safari...

[shockz]

I'm thinking Google made a boo boo with the filtering, and have corrected it. I haven't run into the problem for awhile.

[Fred Derf Veteran]

This is happening again with dl.dropbox.com

In addition to Google Chrome, I also received a warning message from Firefox when I tried to view a particular signature. It also happens with some avatars that are not hosted on Neowin.

Yes, those who read this thread will realize that it is a false positive linked to a silly signature but I fear that a casual visitor to Neowin's forum will think that we are out to get them.

Edit: Now it's happening with files.dropbox.com as well.

Thanks Fred for sorting out my sig issues (Y) I was asleep when you removed so I didn't know what was happening :p
