My last post here.....maybe

I have decided that I cannot fight the malware monster that is dogging me here - the warning that many of you are getting, claiming that "Imagine" is an attack site. My stats have fallen considerably since it appeared, and while I do not blog for the "stats" and numbers, it is futile for me to continue here when so many are afraid to "click through" the warnings. 

I am so computer illiterate that I have very little skill at getting rid of bad code or malware - in fact - my skills at that are less than none. If anyone knows how to track down malicious code and wants to help me, I will appreciate it greatly. I am saddened that I can no longer visit the web-site that put me in this predicament. Apparently he knows how to get rid of it, but I don't.

In a day or two, I will resume posting on my old blog - JustaskJudy - which I hope you will visit, as well as spread the word for me on your blogs.

Hi Judy,

I can get on your blog using Firebox but not Safari. The Warning sign still appears every time. I wish I was able to help you fix the problem but I don't know either! I'm so sorry you have this issue. Did blogger ever get back to you?

You might consider changing your template, I don't know what on this template is causing the warning, it could be any of the scripts built in... or none of them, possibly just a mistake but the review won't change if it reads something it doesn't like regardless.

You can request a review, follow the steps:

Good luck.

I think you are wise. I have had the wretched warning through out but have just clicked and ignored it. I have family here but when I have a moment I'll mention it on my blog.

JC, every time I attempt to request a review, they tell me that my url is
"Disallowed" and the request never goes through.

I will try again with your link, and thanks.

I just tried to go through site verification and I simply don't understand what they are asking me to do.

Dear Judy--Not all of us get a warning. I may have gotten one, once, a couple of weeks ago; but, I am not sure that it was your web site (I was in a hurry and just went away.) I do know that since that one time, I've not received any warnings - bogus or otherwise - out of your site. That probably doesn't help you; but, don't know what else I can do for you. Sorry!

I have never gotten a warning on your site and I use IE. This is a mystery. I had someone say they saw that on my site but now they say it is gone. I have no idea. Just Ask Judy was where I first found you so back I go.

If you go to this website:
www.malwarebytes.org
you can download a free program that will get rid of most malware problems. I had malware problem a few years ago, and this worked for me. Good luck!

Stacie, I already have malwarebytes and when I ran the scan, they said I had none, but google is still putting the warning on my blog.

I started visiting you at "Just Ask Judy" so it will be a pleasure to go back there. Hope it solves all the problems.

Hi Judy,

As I mentioned in an e-mail to you...I have been getting a warning message from my security system when I tried to visit you. I have been checking every day to see if anything changes....it hadn't....until today. There was NO warning message; but I see that you have been frustrated enough to move back to your old blog. I'll be visiting you there sweetie....Love, Joy

P.S. I know just how you feel...I'm not techie enough to figure these stupid things out either.

kenju said...

Joy and oldkhan, thanks for letting me know.

It must have cleared up because I didn't get a popup. I am using Firefox. Maybe they got it fixed.

Just checking in and found that I could get your blog without the crazy warning notice! Yay!

Sorry you've had to move because of malware, but I'll check you out on your old/new site.
