Both Firefox and Chrome are blocking thelostdogs.com as a harmful site.
Firefox says it is an attack page.
Chrome says it hosts malware.

RE: lost dogs site problem |

I’m on a Mac and am fine on Chrome, Camino, AOL and Firefox. Oddly enough, this warning appears on Mac’s native browser Safari, of all things.
I will make sure the Townsend Brothers are made aware of this ASAP.

Firefox isn't showing the warning for me anymore. Chrome still is. I also tried IE 8, Opera, and Safari (all on Windows) and none of them complained. So for me, it's just down to Chrome. Maybe that will clear up soon too.

Check and see if you're still getting it...
I think it was just some code messed up on the intro page. I don't know how it happens, but its happened before. Sometimes things get messy when theres a bunch of hands in the meal.. something gets uploaded halfway or edited or someone changes something thinking another person is doing something else, etc, etc.

Same here. I just tried on Safari and got the warning. It's not showing with Camino, Chrome or Firefox. Weird.

OK, maybe its something a little different then. I was getting it.. fixed some issues on the main page and then stopped getting it. So I thought maybe that fixed it.
I'll look into it some more.
Thanks fellas.

I can't recreate the error now and my server folks are not seeing it either. They tried it on a whole bunch of browsers.
If you didn't already try it - try completely refreshing the page when you load it in (some browsers need you to hold down shift or something like that when you hit refresh to completely reload the page)
I just want to make sure you're not still seeing the version before the fix.

It works for me in Firefox now. Chrome still gives me flak about http://thelostdogs.com/band.html and http://thelostdogs.com/store/.
I've tried clearing the Chrome cache, deleting cookies, and doing hard refreshes but the warning still displays. If I turn off the phishing and malware protection option in Google settings, then I don't get the warning page.
I'm sure it will go away eventually. It's probably some kind of server caching issue somewhere along the pipeline.

In Safari I get the warning for every section of thelostdogs.com. Google said the suspicious activity was on 1-24-2011. Perhaps a spam posting on the forum occured on that day? I couldn't even get to the Band page in Safari. It's funny that it works fine in Chrome. Browser war tactics, perhaps?

Thanks for the info guys. If anyone sees anything else please post here and let me know how/when/where/etc. I'm not currently seeing it anywhere.
We did have an attack of a bunch of spam on the Dogs board not long ago, so that could be linked somehow.
It may be nothing, but of course I want to be sure.

I tried the sites again from home. At home, Firefox did not give me a warning, but Chrome did (on Windows again).
But this morning at work, Firefox is giving me the warning again. Chrome is still doing it. I've cleared the browser cache to be sure.
So Firefox has been inconsistent for me. But Chrome is consistently giving me the warning from two different locations..
I probably won't report anything further until next week. I doubt I will have anything new to say. I'll speak up when it seems to start working in Chrome again. I would think that Google needs time to update their review. Perhaps you can use the Google Web Tools to request a new review.

The warning is showing up for the board and the site on Android Mobile. I pulled up a search for the board by typing in the board address. I can't remember accessing the board or the site from the phone. If I have, it wasn't recent.

The browser in question was Google, by the way.

Maybe it's not a site problem
