Admin: Your sister site is being reported as an attack page by Firefox so I cannot get credit for the ad. As a result, I also cannot go to Scarlet-Clicks and do daily clicking there at all. There must be malicious code somewhere on the site. Can you please look into this and let us know when it is fixed? Thanks much!

This is what is coming up:

Reported Attack Page!

Hello,

The site is clean.We removed the malware a few minutes after we saw it but google take some hours to remove the warning.Also you might still see the warning because of your cookies/cache.
There is no warning for days now.
The problem was with an adhitz banner which has been removed.

Best regards,

Hi Admin,

It took a while for you to respond to this important message, but happy you finally did. Problem is, I have removed cookies, cleared cache and closed browser completely for days now and today it is still reporting Scarlet-Clicks ad (and Scarlet-Clicks site when trying to login there) as a reported attack page. There may be another problem? I will take a chance and bypass it based on your stating there is no problem and hopefully nothing bad happens to my computer.

Forgot to mention I also used CCleaner and wiped out everything. Still the same problem.

Admin,

So sorry to bother you again. I was able to bypass the attack warning via the Scarlet-Clicks website and do my daily thing there and hopefully without any repercussions later. But I'm not able to bypass on the ad for Scarlet-Clicks under GPTPlanet. Just can't bypass it. You need to find the problem because I'm not able to get credit for this ad at all....for many days now. It also still bothers me that Firefox is still reporting Scarlet-Clicks as an attack page. For that to be the case, there must still be an ad/banner, whatever, or a new ad/banner, whatever, still entering your site. Do you not check for these types of problems before allowing the ads/banners access to your site? This is eventually going to affect your membership and popularity. Can you please address this?

I also wanted to ask...on Scarlet-Clicks I went to the forum to ask a question and am not automatically logged in. So I tried to login and it says my login is not recognized. Is the Scarlet-Clicks forum not directly connected to Scarlet-Clicks or is this another forum where one has to secondarily create an account for that forum? I hate that. Forums should be directly connected to their PTC site.

One more thing...this attack page business is affecting my personal website and my PTP when promoting with traffic exchanges. Because I have Scarlet-Clicks on my website and on rotating pages with traffic exchanges...it creates no hits and other problems.

Thanks

Hello,

As i told you the site is clean.You should try to visit the site using a different browser.
Here is a screenshot that i just took from webmaster google tools (which is the one that blocks the site when something is wrong) showing that the site doesn't contain any unwanted content.

Also i did not respond here as fast as you wanted because it is not Scarlet-clicks forum and Support tickets have higher priority.
Scarlet-clicks forum is intergated with the site but you have to log in using the same info as you registered on the site.If you still have problems please contact me through Scarlet-clicks Contact page to give you a new password.Sometimes the forum can not be connected to the site.
The attack page doesn't affect your ptp because you must be one of the few that still get the report page because we get the same daily hits as we did before the -couple of hours- attack.


Finally,we check the advertisements but when a site has been approved then after a few days they might ad a banner that contain a virus and this will block our page even if the banner is not in our site.This time though we had a problem from one adhitz banner.

I usually use Firefox as my browser. When I couldn't get the scarlet clicks ad to credit for me, I tried Google Chrome with no luck. Then I tried IE and was able to get credit for it.

Admin,

Thanks so much for your response/explanation and your understanding of my concerns.

slicksmom1997,

Although the Scarlet-Clicks ad still showed as an attack page today, at least the timer loaded and I was able to get credit for the ad (previously the timer would not load) and I was still using Firefox. go figure.
