Bulbapedia -- Google Warning: May Harm Your Computer???

Yeah, I've been able to get around it easily, but I did some research and from what I understand, Bulbapedia is confused with another website on Google's list-thingie, so it blocks it. It should be fixed at some point, but yeah, it's pretty annoying. Bulbapedia is absolutely safe, don't worry.

Bulbapedia The current issues are not only impacting Bulbapedia, but also a number of other large websites using these same ad networks.

Bulbapedia Please be aware Google has updated their Safe Browsing diagnostic page for us again. Seems our ad network has not yet resolved its issues.

Bulbapedia Based on the new information from Google, it appears we're suffering from the same rogue ad issue impacting other sites, including Twitpic.

Bulbapedia Google has updated its listing on Bulbapedia, and we are investigating. It appears these are the result of rogue ads. google.com/safebrowsing/d…

Bulbapedia We have requested a review by Google of their malware alert message. After our own review, we believe it's the result of a malicious report.

From Bulba for those that don't read its twitter.

I had this problem on Chrome, then I switched to Mozilla to see if it was a browser problem and it actually worked on Mozilla and it didn't detect any virus at all. So lucky me, eh? ^^

I get it on Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. It pops up on my Iphone's Safari too.

I got this too, and I'm a Google Chrome user.

It sucks since I get most information from over there.

Oi, I'm getting that too.

What could make Google so mad at Pokémon? x]

For me, though, I can just click the "screw you I love Bulbapedia" button. Might not be the case for other people though…

EDIT: The problem apparently is with advertisements…

Yeah, I remember. Pop-up video ads all over the place. It got a bit annoying at times.

The back way in the web site I found is through email...Lucky I have a subsciption with Bulbapedia sending me links to the latest news from the web site.

I've got this notice too (since yesterday). Although I might have some Adblocker (I'm using Firefox), I think I'll have to wait until this notice is fixed.

I got this too. I don't know why Google Chrome wants to keep us away from a amazing Pokemon website.

Getting it here too.

Says the site may contain malware.

let's all tell Google that this Bulbapedia malware warning is bull****

Go to Google's home page, type Bulbapedia into Google search, it will bring up Bulbapedia in the results and it will say that it will harm your computer, now scroll to the bottom of Google's results and click the 'Give Us Feedback' link... a text box should pop up and it should request feedback!!! tell Google that this malware warning on Bulbapedia's search results is a load of crap!!! (don't say it like that, just explain that Google is falsely reporting the site as harmful)

after you type your description in, it will ask you to highlight the areas related to your description. highlight ALL bulbapedia websites in the search results, make sure the malware warning is also highlighted... don't forget to black out personal information like your name in the left and right corners as well as your email (if displayed)...

if enough people complain, Google may take action!!! Google apparently STILL is reporting the site as unsafe and we NEED to tell them bull****!!!

I thought I was the only one that was affected by this Bulbapedia is a malware infected site thingy.

I guess I will support this stand as well!

Bulbapedia should work now.

I will take a stand! There's nothing dangerous of Bulbapedia, what the heck?

I have Firefox and got this error from Bulba before. I have ads disabled and blocked though, nothing bad happened to my computer. Looks like it's back..and now I won't be going there for a while.

Oh wow. Maybe some kind of spam/ad bot attack? Yay for ad blocks.

I GOT NEWS FOR YOU!!! I AM STILL GETTING MALWARE WARNINGS AND STILL BEING BLOCKED FROM ACCESSING IT!!!

Not to be rude or anything, but is it that big of a deal that people need to get worked up over it? The problem will fix itself eventually, and in the meantime I'm pretty sure there's alternatives to Bulbapedia. I'm not saying you shouldn't take action, but it's been like a day, no need to get riled up by this.

Whilst I get this warning, I can still continue to it...

The same with me. I tried bypassing it but it still won't let me.

So, If anyone had bothered looking at Blubapedia's twitter page (just a few results down)
You'd realise that Google did nothing wrong, and Bulbapedia is actively trying to solve the issue

One of Bulbapedia's ad networks started distributing malware, so any site using that ad provider has seen issues as well.
In other words, Google is just responding to a legitimate claim, and Bulbapedia is actively trying to remedy the situation
