I have a client that just sent me this message:

Just FYI, I got online to find your address and kept getting a malicious pop up every time I clicked on your web address. I did finally find the address and will check in the mail today.

So I sent her my direct link: http://mainstreetconsulting.com/

And she said: Even that link gave me the threat pop up....

I wonder if you all out there across the world wide inter-web would please click on my site to see if anybody else is getting these strange issues?

Many thanks, Brad

I was able to get straight in, nothing triggered ant alarms. Will scan to check.

Kaspersky blocked it as potentially malicious.

About 2 weeks ago, there was a breach on our server via Apache. We resolved it quickly, but apparently not quickly enough for a few antivirus programs to see it and add it to their softwares' blacklist. Upon contacting TrendMicro, Avast and Kapersky (the ones we know thus far to have a problem with our websites), they all indicated that it had indeed been added to a blacklist in their softwares but all said their programs would be updated to remove the sites from the blacklists now that they themselves have scanned the sites and found no malware intrusion. However, not a single one of them has updated their programs yet to fix the problem. This is not something that is fixed by a regular database update -- they require full program updates.

So now we are waiting on those AV programs to update and meanwhile we are stuck. Moving the sites to new hosts would not alleviate the problem, since it is the site URL itself that is marked as malicious. We are at the mercy of TrendMicro, Avast and Kapersky at this point to update their programs.

If you use any antivirus software that is showing your site hosted with us as malicious, please report it to the antivirus company as an error in their blacklist because your site is indeed clean. The more people that report it to these companies, the sooner the problem will be resolved.

For the record, I'm no longer an Avast fan due to their lack of support and snotty attitudes when contacting them. I'm moving on to something else and for now I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials.

We use Avast! and have had no problems with BeerLeg.

Kaspersky has not had any issues with BeerLeg.

And I just tried SurveyorConnect with no problem.

That's because BeerLeg is on it's own server. 🙂

I just went there and everything works fine. I even copied a picture of some poor unfortunate soul you obviously hired from the homeless labor pool. 😉

Seriously, the site works fine.

Have a great 4th! B-)

Works fine here at the office running Firefox with ESET protection.

It is a slow process once you get on the "blacklist"

This is not your normal blacklist like you are thinking. It's an easy fix if the anti-virus developers would get off their dead asses.
