Liger Watch. FA and McAfee SiteAdvisor.
10 years ago
Ok just thought I'd post this as the issue cropped up a lil while ago. Anyone else notice that individual submission pages on FA are being flagged as dangerous by McAfee SiteAdvisor? The rest of the site is coming up green but stuff like art in anybody's gallery isn't. Someone should probably bring this to the attention of FA staff.

I also use "Theme font and style changer", for Firefox. That seemed to have no effect on uBlock. I'm talking about the system-wide "system fonts", the ones you need to reboot your system after changing, because they affect the entire operating system, and all programs that run under it. Right now, I'm set at Arial Unicode MS 17 point at 156 percent (150 DPI). That's as small as I can go and still remain able to read my screen comfortably. When I set my system fonts down to 125 percent, uBlock didn't cause problems, but I also couldn't read my screen that way without leaving nose marks on the surface of my monitor! I might take a look at uBlock Origins some time when I have some hours to burn, but AdBlock works so well, that I hardly have the need. There is pretty much nothing I can't block with AdBlock, and it's pretty light on my resources. I just use my own custom filters, and not any of the subscriptions.

It says FA is the problem but putting in the link for the site itself produces this green safe one. https://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/h.....raffinity.net/
McAfee's SiteAdvisor is obviously not actually looking at the actual page, but working off some other sort other data. The report you provided says that it found ustream.tv, mediawiki.org and deviantart.com, yet the problem page does not contain links or scripts from any of those in the source. It's looking like someone reported to SiteAdvisor that FA was a problem, and SiteAdvisor never actually verified that before marking the site as bad. SiteAdvisor's info is clearly wrong here. I looked at the page source and there is nothing even remotely malware-like on it.
Okay, I checked SiteAdvisor's list of users who rated and commented on the site - all 13 of them. Three users, "starplz", "non" and "Anon21981" rated it as dangerous, but for bad reasons. One flagged it for "Adware, spyware, or viruses", which was partially true for all of a day, because they did put up adware for that time. Another flagged FA as a "Bad shopping experience", because it supposedly allows babyfur pornography! The rules on the site don't allow any under-aged sex, so that person submitted a false rating. And, the last one flagged it for "Adware, spyware, or viruses", because it's "full of pedophiles." It sounds like personal grudges against FA to me.
To hopefully fix the problem. go to your SiteAdvisor report and click on the "Request a review" button. From there, you can mark it as safe, select art as the category, and leave a comment if you like. It looks like SiteAdvisor just take user's words for whether a site is safe or not. They surely didn't actually scan it. I've never had an FA page come up in an actual malware or virus scan.
I have a feeling that some disgruntled FA users are just trying to poison the McAfee because they're pissed at the site. That probably means more people like you and I going in and giving it a safe rating to make everything green again.
