I get this message on quite a few attempts to access a page, sometimes just going to a additional page of a same thread?

Well you got me. That's addressing another website, so not sure if inside a thread someone has posted a link to them that is causing it?

Anyone else getting this?

Might be time to clean out history/cookies, etc. Should be no reason from here that you get a warning about another site. I checked my server, etc and all clear.

Hi Harry:

I saw this same message on my work computer, but not at home (so far anyway). We have different firewalls and such at work.
Thought the auslot.com thing was a little off.

Well it's certainly a security issue on your browser/firewall/network settings.

I just finished with multiple new users checking many threads and rescanned all security settings on my end.

Google or someone like them is blocking the Australian Slot Car site - auslot.com - not sure why - I can access it on my iPad but any access via computer comes up with that message.

There has been an issue of late when you search in google and click on a link to an article on the auslot site you are redirected to a dubious site.

Maybe there is a link to an auslot page on the thread you are reading.

Myself I think they have blocked the wrong site - they need to block auslots.com - not auslot.com
If you go to auslots.com - you get a highly suspicious poker and gambling site - which to me would be more likely to contain malware and viruses.

The admin on Auslot have taken steps to fix it up

actually it came up on the 3rd page of your 57 widow thread Harry. Now I only get a "threat has been detected" audio and warning but the page is visible, but wasn't before. I see nothing on that page referring to auslots...... :text-welcomewave: twilight zone

you are insured correct...... :lol:

It's security settings in your browser combined with Google and other site indexing services. Auslot was incorrectly blacklisted and hence the warnings.
I never had any for our site on all the multiple devices I checked. It might have had to do with certain links to thier server as we allow them. And when you do, those stay in our database. So any redirect link will cause that warning.

In any case, you should clear out your browser history/cookies. You should do this anyway, so it might be a good time.

You should be fine. Our site is fine.
