So when I try to bring up http://mwomercs.com from google I get the this is a attack sight thing. I have to ignore that and then have all this bad ware sight stuff come up. Something needs to be done about that. How many people that come to look into the game get that page to turn away and never come back? This should be a top priority to get that fixed or it will affect the numbers of new players you pick up allot.

That's an old issue. You should not be seeing that anymore. I'm thinking you have an infection on your end because the site is loading fine for me on Chrome, I run a search for it on Google and it has nothing popping up.

Have this problem from 4 different locations with 6 different computers if you use the combo I listed. There are lots of people that use Firefox and Google together. I see this from my home, work, library, and a hotel. all using different computers. I am still getting it today. So even if it is a old issue it is still a issue. Also the computers in question use a variety of anti virus, anti spyware programs.

I still get it as well. The infection bit is unfounded as I have nothing hitting on various scans and have even used system restore to turn the clock back before the 13th. I use a shortcut on my bookmarks toolbar to get here. At times the warning doesn't pop up for a few pages but it ALWAYS pops up.

I'm sure this turns off new players looking at the game. More information is needed to clear this issue fully for all of us. And no reinstalling win7 is not an option for the average user.

The answer is also not that you use a different browser like chrome or IE. We are talking about firefox here.

I think it has something to do with your comps, here are some current reports -

http://safebrowsing....te=mwomercs.com

Are you doing any synching between them? I have a FEBE backup prog that keeps all my FF versions in synch, I've seen issues with that one before.

Sometimes links or redirects from other sites can ding you as well,

NGNG needs to update their Wordpress software, but they are good too:

It is definitely still showing under Firefox. Using the latest available version of FF as well.

It is not the computers and connections to many have been tried. Also they have been scanned and tested by different programs on different ones. Not one of these computers is having the problem with any other web page only mwomercs. One of the 6 computers mentioned was a 2 hour old new laptop after installing Firefox the next thing was to MWOmercs.net to download the game and got the stop badware stuff and the sight blocked. I have hound no computer using firefox and google as a combo that dose not run into this problem.

I'm quite tired of "reputation" sites doing this. Another method of this affects email server administration as well. You have these third party sites which claim to keep an index of mail server reputation (in the instant case website reputation) and people ban/block your email (or website) based on a single occurrence of an entry in this "index".

That's like banning you from dating because you had an occurrence of an ex-girlfriend who didn't like you.

Ahhh, I see what the real issue is. What did you do to her?

But seriously, I get this message periodically, but not all the time (with Firefox.) I think it may be a glitch in the coding for the "stop badware" stuff. It's called freaking malware, too - they just wanted a name they could copyright.

[Gotti]

Haha funny yo

There was an event on December 13th that is outlined here: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/83531-dec-13th-incident-official-response/

The Web Admins have already gone through the Stop BadWare Review process and the website is officially Green-Lit again by Google and Stop BadWare. You'll see that all reports are considered "past activity" and the MW:O site no longer hosts anything illicit. Unfortunately, there are still users receiving this MalWare warning, largely on the FireFox web browser.

I'll contact the Support Team and see if we can get an official feedback thread for users to report the circumstances in which they still receive this warning, or something...
