Darkone - does the ad site at least give you some sort of compensation to make up for the loss of revenue that you are experiencing from this ad that was placed there by them ?? seems they should do something for their lack of checking the ads that they are allowing to be placed for distribution - you would think they would at minimum require that all ads to be redistributed by them would be verified for content and checked for malicious code before being placed on the server for redistribution to sites like your's.

I understand the frustration. Stinks that google has become sort of a publisher of websites on the internet. Bow before google and they will accept you into the internet, sort of thing.

If you just want to go on tesnexus without bothering with warnings on firefox, you can always go to Menu->"Tools"->"Options.."->Security tab->Uncheck "Block reported attack sites". Don't forget to recheck it after you're done visiting nexus!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/1061/falselinknexus.png this.

What am I looking at? Just looks like the TES Nexus homepage with the word 'false' in the middle.

It's working for me now. Is it working for everyone esle?

I'm not sure about that hack stat. You can't believe everything you read.

EDIT: What's going on? Some links work and some don't.

Nope. Homepage loads fine, but after I try to search for something, chrome pops up with a malware alert. http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/search.php&client=googlechrome&hl=en-US

CURSE YOU blacktreegaming.com!!! :swear:

As I recall, Dark0ne can trace where attacks against Nexus are coming from, and does so. He doesn't mean that he read somewhere that 95% of attacks come from those countries, he means that of the attacks logged against Nexus, 95% came from those countries. Which makes his statement valid and fair.

Correct :)

CURSE YOU blacktreegaming.com!!!


blacktreegaming.com is my domain; it's where the adserver is hosted. That's why it's been flagged as malicious.

Well in that case, CURSE YOU... whoever is or was infecting blacktreegaming.com!!!

So I assume that despite said report, it would be safe to continue on even though Chrome is telling me not to? I just don't want to take the slight chance of being infected, even though I'm sure Norton would probably catch it easily.

It's the weekend. I'd not expect a resolution on this until Monday at least at this point.

I was gonna go and download Onra's heightmaps a half hour ago, but something told me not to download anything at all from TesNexus due to the Malware/Virus scare on that site this weekend!!! What am I to do now without Onra's heightmap to download? You know how long I had to wait to see that Onra's complete heightmap is now on TexNexus, only for this Trojan/Virus thing on TesNexus to ruin it for me? This whole incident is starting to remind me of when I had to go thru a major natural disaster!!! Whoever put the problem ads containing the Virus/Trojans on TexNexus downloads page shall pay dearly!!!

I've not experienced any problems with the nexus sites. Maybe you guys should consider changing browsers. :P

I'll just have to wait til Wednesday, then, or have my dad take a look at the site since he's excellent at telling if a website is infected or not!

No problems here, using MVPS Hosts file http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm no need for adblock plugins slowing your browser down, this stops all comms from/to your computer connecting with any bad sites ( browser/messenger/even malware on your computer trying to phone home ), links within a site page from third parties which have their dns address in the hosts file also get blocked....

Updated a few days ago. You need to manually update it once per month (I use the linked HostsXpert utility to update), and as the month progresses it slowly becomes more out of date (malware links shift around fast), but the guys updating it do a pretty good job and mind their P's and Q's legally so they do not break anything un-necessarily.

Some people dont like it because they believe it can be used for malware purposes, yes it can but now you are aware of it its one place that will be getting checked by yourself you would not have checked before. Others say it slows down their internet experience, well not as much as a browser full of clunky homebrew plugins in my experience. See notes on DNS client for different OS's.


As for Browser choice - Google chrome has sandboxed tabs/processes, if you want a de-googled version http://www.srware.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=18

Iron, like the newer dev versions of Chrome has in the options a Content manager, after installing go there and block everything, Images/cookies/javascript etc etc. First time you visit a site, in the address bar a little icon pops up for the element that has been blocked. You can click it and choose whether to allow and make an exception for that site.

Which can be later revoked in the same setting Exception button.

Bit of a pain initially, but its like an email client spam filter for browsers, block everything as spam initially then teach your browser which sites you consider to be trustworthy of allowing those elements.

You are still vulnerable to what you allow to download of course, the usual first time file uploader claiming their mod installer to be something else, just treat as potentially radioactive and handle with tongs in a fallout shelter :).

So what is the deal here? Actually safe or not? Google is still warning and I am not taking one iota of a chance, I simply can't afford to. Anyone know an alternative download for Mr Siika's Cliff Resource or am I okay to download from Nexus?

Edit, can't get on the site anyway. :(

It's safe, just Google is taking forever to pull its finger out and remove the warning. :stare:
