This site is now being blocked as a "deceptive site" on my computer by Norton Anti-Virus. Anyone else getting this message? I've been having trouble with this site for about 6 months with stinking pop-ups.
Yup - been using that site for some years and I got the same yesterday for the first time. It was not Norton that was flagging it up though (I do not have that on my PC). I suspect the site has been flagged by the ISP's to deter usage, and it is possible that there is nothing wrong with the site at all but I was not brave enough to check it out.
I've not had any problems with feed2all, but haven't used it for some time. I prefer cricfree usually, but go to feed2all if that isn't working. Norton may just be flagging up the adware that abounds on these sites. I use Bitdefender's free version of anti-virus and that blocks many of the pop-ups.
I use cricfree quite a lot, especially for cricket coverage (funnily enough) but I often get a warning box from Kaspersky pop up to say 'malicious site detected' or similar. But it let's me proceed, whereas if it was a seriously threat, Kaspersky would block it totally. Touch wood, no major issues.
Thanks for the responses and tips. I misspoke when I said Norton "blocks" the page. It's just a big red warning page that I'd never seen before but does give me the option to continue. It wasn't worth the risk, though.
Thinking back, I now recall that on both cricfree and feed2all, that red warning page comes up on one feed but not on others. I usually just switch to another feed and carry on. Like Cromer, though, I don't think it's a serious problem.
Thanks Rick. The warning comes up before going to the site. I'll use cricfree and also look for others so I have a backup or two.
