I keep getting this message since this morning when logging in via Google Chrome -- has the site been hacked? So far no issues with IE browser. Cheers

Firefox is reporting it has issues too.

I have been getting this too.
When I click on more info I get this:

Just got this one myself, using Firefox. I have faith in my redoubled security program, but I know that not everyone is so lucky.
And I thought the worst part were the spammers.

Just got the same notification page from Google Chrome myself and had to navigate around it to get here.

Don't know what the fix might be for the Armorama admins, but it's worrisome, and I hope the site admins can get it resolved quick and easy.

Windows XP,running IE.No problems.Jeff T.

I don't know where you guys are getting these messages from

I run win7 32 & 64 bit,IE9 with Malware Bytes running full time in the background - no messages and a full scan revealed no problems. I trust Jim and his team to keep this site clean and so far no issues have occured. My mate uses Google Chrome and hasn't had any messages either.

Perhaps it's the security settings you're using?

Seems to be just folks using Firefox and Chrome.

There's even a thread started about the "Armorama Malware" message over on Missing-Lynx, General Topics forum.

Interestingly, after I just told Chrome to go to the website anyways, I haven't gotten the message again.

I get this message both on Mozilla and Chrome when trying to go to armorama.com.. But it works if you will type armorama.kitmaker.net. I got no message and go directly to the site. Cheers

Jim is aware of this and looking into it.

Same message screen I got as well. And also this:



I found it odd and disturbing, especially the statement "....www.armorama.com, a known malware distributor".

Anyways, access via Chrome now seems to be ok -- no more of those messages.

Cheers

This may have something to do with StopBadware.org...

I read the same message this morning and about 2 hours ago

My browser is Firefox

I got a notification yesterday, but my Norton Internet Security program zapped it before it did anything. Since then, I have had no problems. I'm using IE.

Google and others are really making mountains out of molehills here. There was a problem on our AD SITE (not armorama.com or any of our other main sites). Someone had either hacked and or figured out how to SQL inject some malicious data and files on to that server. Two ads were updated to try to display a 'banner.js' (javascript) file. There were two .php files that supported this attack. It looked like a packet-type Denial of Service attack to me and not even against us but other servers. So not malware really but viruses against other web servers and NOT your personal computers. I thought it was odd when I went to our page which normally would have triggered a warning from AVG about a malicious file upload attempt, etc. I only got a warning from AVG when I went to try to look at the PHP files so perhaps the banner.js file never even was able to work the way it was designed. Anyways... long story short, the site should be clean now and I have fixed the data, secured the directory for the banners, and generally cleaned up the file upload process to make sure non-image files are not able to be uploaded. I couldn't believe the developers who made the ad software had not already done this. Sigh....

10-15 hours and Google should have it cleared up. Not sure about all the new 'notified' browsers and apps (like Norton) that are playing havoc as well. I am really not sure this idea of blocking sites BEFORE they attempt to deliver malware is the way to go. I know of several sites like ours that have gone through this recently and while there was an issue with our sites this time, and I am glad to know about it, no one on this site appears to ever have been at risk.

Thanks,
Jim

Got the malware warning on Firefox, so I backdoored through kitmaker.net.

Man, a whole day without ARMORAMA and I'm already having withdrawal symptoms.

Had to get up early to see if it works.
Whew... finally it does!

I know it must have been a big PITA, Jim, but thanks for taking the time to root out the problem and fix it.

Didn't stop me from visiting the site, but it sure was aggravating, and, hey, from a layman's point of view, you just never know what's really going on behind the curtain when it comes to the internet and security.

So, thanks again for "jousting those windmills" and "slaying those dragons" and quieting the things that go bump under our computers!

Mike - Your welcome!

All - I just noted that www.armorama.co.uk is still blocked so I added the site to our Google Webmaster Tools page and requested a review to clear that up. I think that should solve most of the issues anyone else is having. Cached page files in your browser might be the only other reason people are occasionally seeing the malware message.

Thanks,
Jim

Only blocked by Chrome from what I can see - IE9 allows it. *sigh* what a great browser it is!!

Good to hear that it is resolved Jim.

The one thing that ticked me was the statement "....armorama.com, a known malware distributor...". Obviously its a boilerplate of some sort, automated and all. But it sure does place the site in a bad light which may not necessarily be the case here.

On one hand I find it good to have that extra level of security (though at times irritating) but maybe Google can improve on the messaging they put up in these situations.

Cheers
