Phishing Question
-
I'm interested too, but I don't want it either..
-
When I first mentioned this problem with my webperson, he made a wild guess that it might be because of the PayPal link on my Contact Us page. I didn't really need that link (if someone wants to make a purchase they go thru my Cart) so I took it out.
I've been researching this MS phishing filter thing. Check this out, especially paragraph 5. Not sure if it was the cause but glad I removed that PayPal link.

ok now I have to check for my site... how do I do that? I don't have IE7 and it won't install on my retro OS...
anyone care to check for me...
I say you call a lawyer and get a check from MS... this sounds like total crap...
-
Actually the site gave me the phishing MS info in Firefox, too. So you may try it with Firefox (but at home I'll try your website with IE7 then).
-
what's firefox? isn't that a movie from the 80's that some burnt out hippy beatnik starred in? oh no... that was FoxFire
-
I've got IE7 with the antiphishing filters set on automatic - didn't know it until this thread.
No warnings on your website, Kris -
thanks Daniel... thats reassuring... hopefully joe will soon be off their list...
-
Could you check mine Daniel??
Go to my homepage, then click on my Contact Us page.
I've emailed PayPal about this, we'll see what they have to say ..
-
Joe,
I checked both in FF and IE7 (w/ phishing filter on) and no sign of a "phishing note" or whatsoever. They must have removed your site.
-
Joe,
Yet I have to tell you that the javascripts opening your image windows are a bit outdated (5 or 6 years back from now).
Still nice content - cheers! -
Thanks for checking it for me Gaieus!
-
yes I was going to say th scripts are a bit old, and most SE don't want you to have more than 2 on any page... but that's way down their list of cares...
and they are useful scripts... like the pre-load image script...
-
Sorry Joe, I didn't see your post until late (I usually check the forum once a day at work - when i should be working). I had actually checked your website when i first stumbled across this thread - no threats detected, by either IE7 or my antivirus software.
