[turninforhome10]

When going to the DRF site at 0300 hrs on 05/25/2012 Google chrome returned the following message Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer! Not sure what to make of it but be careful until it is cleared.

I'm getting the same warning here for DRF on Google Chrome

[classhandicapper]

Same here. (google chrome)

I got it in Firefox.

You couldn't pay me enough to log on--no way. I'm sick of computer problems!! (See note below in computers.):faint:

I got it for DRF and for another site I visit daily, the warnings began yesterday for both.

Getting conflicting results. When entering "Daily Racing Form" in Google (IE9) search am also seeing the "This site may harm your computer" message. However, my Norton AV flags it as safe, green symbol. ???

i am on there now doing a salsa dance, but not on the home page part

I don't think there is anything wrong with the site, just a false warning. Proceed at your own risk though.

Google's message:

Looks to be OK for me now. Just got through homepage to Formulator.

This strikes me as “interesting”: I don’t use Chrome as a browser, and I don’t have a g-mail account. But in the middle of my using drf.com, Google feels empowered/obliged/obligated to break in a give me a warning about the malware.

I guess I should be grateful they are going out of their way to watch over poor little me, but...

It took my Vista system down. Completely unusable. Had to go out and by a laptop just to get basic things going again. - Slew

Download and run Hitmanpro in SAFE MODE...it has a 30 day free trial...if it works, throw them a bone and subscribe for a year for $20.

HitManPro is pretty good at getting rid of things Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes cannot...

It took out my boot sector. Took a search on a new laptop (purchased under duress) and a lucky hit on Google to get it back up and running. - Slew

Nobody else is surprised by Google's self appointed role as Sheriff of the Internet? guess I'll have to just accept my absorption into the Google Collective.

Please, no reminders, a whole bunch of us are still fuming over this one.
