Bloody thing keeps getting detected as a phishing attack, wat?

Probably because they are :P.

-snip-

It’s the latest kaspersky grabbing it, not all the time.

Then again, it is “just” a phishing scam, so not too bad.

Removed some references to clearly unwanted things.

Could I ask, how is suggesting that using an addon such as adblock plus “clearly unwanted”? It would stop the ads showing therefore getting rid of the phishing warnings…considering the necessary details weren’t available, this would save cloud from seeing ad reports at least temporarily.

Back on topic, did the phishing warnings only just start showing up in the last couple of days? Try doing a manual update of your AV, that might prevent you getting false positives if that’s the problem. Alternatively (and this is a good idea anyway), run your AV to do a scan, google ads might have been hijacked and be redirecting you to viruses…which would explain the phishing warning.

That. I was going to write a longer and more boring version of waebi’s post, but his one kinda covers the load.

Ah well thats fair enough, but in the context which we’re talking about I thought it would be ok (IMO in any situation it should ok as its legal :D. Edit: Minus meetings with advertisers etc *ahem* :P). Meh, I’ll keep it in mind.

If the problem persists Cloud, then I’d do what I suggested, otherwise you could disable the anti-phishing and replace it with something else…depends how annoying the problem is for you. I think it is possible to get the links hijacked and send you to a different site, so if its not a false positive by Kaspersky you could have a virus or the like.

I’ve got Kaspersky too. It detects AOL’s Client Install CD that they sent us as a virus. It also detects Ventrilo, as a virus, even though I downloaded it from the official site.
The point I’m trying to make is that it finds alot of safe things as potentially unwanted/dangerous applications.
True story.

the ads are annoying because if I want to watch the Sunday games
in the calendar i cant do it, because the list of games (moving the mouse on Sunday)
is hidden behind the google ad, using firefox

Fixed now, if you do a hard refrech (ctrl + F5) it should work fine.
