Web page warnings

[YetMoreTech]

We are aware that some people are receiving warnings when trying to open certain pages on Mumsnet. This is related to a problem with one of the ads that we serve on some of our pages. Whilst we investigate further we've stopped serving any ads. As such, all pages on the site are safe to visit. Once the problem is resolved the ads will return in all their glory and we will request to be removed from the blacklist which drives these warnings.

Apologies for any inconvenience or scaring anyone!

firefox won't let us ignore the warnings.

Pah, I only really post on one thread and it won't let me look at it. Pah.

Ad are back, waiting for MN to be taken off black list as more and more thread have got the warning on and fireFox does not let me ignore anymore (did an hour ago though)

omg thank HEAVEN for that!

thanks for that I am getting a lot of those and was wondering what on earth was going on

can't ignore them either

This does not seem to have affected windows explorer yet, just firefox.

Happening here too. DH is home today so I thought maybe he did it to stop me MNing. But he is far too hungover to do such a thing. And I am too hungover to do much else.

Coldtits, that interesting - I got it last night using Chrome but switched to Firefox and had no problems then. May be different today though

I use Explorer and when I opened the laptop this morning was met with a bright red screen saying virus warning.

The root cause of the problem has gone, but you will continue to get the warnings until the blacklist is updated by Google. We've requested they do this but it can take a while.

Just to be clear, the warning does NOT mean you've got a virus.

With firefox you can just go back a page, and carry on as you were.

The warnings are still coming, though.

I cant go forward or back or anything!
Dont know how i opened this page, but I did so i will moan.

Its snowy outside, its cold, the kids are ill and I NEED my dose of MN to keep me sane.

Lynette - I can't do anything on firefox.
I'm doing all this on ie7.
just checked it again, and even clicking on thread i'm on brings it up.

Ahhhhhh! I can't post of soooo many threads!

And for some reason I can't log in on AOL...haven't been able to for ages, but have been using firefox instead.

Now I can read threads on AOL, but not post.

Where is the frustrated smiley?

have you got Internet Explorer on your computer?
might be worth trying that.

Ahhhh the pleasures of Macs. Haven't a clue what you're all talking about, as I haven't had any problems MNing on my iPhone. But now I am forewarned! And I shan't use the PC for MN until Tech gives the full all-clear.

ahhhh - glad it's all being sorted.

For the poster that wanted to know if Chaos got down the hill - yes she did - and the thread went slightly bonkers!!

have had to resort to using IE now.

oh good, just had this myself! wondered what it might mean...

I'm off out in the snow ...please be fixed later

still getting warnings on firefox its 12:25 now.

pinkteddy, yep, you'll continue to get warnings for a while.

The warnings are not shown because there is a problem with the page, they're shown because the site is on a blacklist. It was put on the blacklist because of a legitimate problem with ads (nothing to do with a particular thread, particular user or anyone reporting anything) but that problem has been resolved. Trouble is, it takes a while to get the list updated.

Apologies for any inconvenience.
