Planeshift Badware?
« on: January 14, 2008, 10:19:14 am »
When I enter "Planeshift" in google i get the "This site may harm your computer" page.

You might want to sort this out with Google...

It worries me more how it got there in the first place. It seems someone out there has something against PlaneShift in a bad way.

given some ofthe chatter that i've been watching it looks like a generlaized thing, rather then anything more specific. and poorly writen to boot. but it has been seen amoung the various board owners that i've been watching the chatter of.

It is often generalized as steuben says.  They would rarely target individual sites themselves.  There is likely something triggering it such as the downloading, a keyword, or similar trigger.

The problem is fixed on the planeshift.it end; however it could take several weeks for Google to update theirs.  From Google's Webmaster Tools:

Please allow several weeks for the re-evaluation process. Unfortunately, we can't reply individually to reconsideration requests.
I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather not sit here and take this nonsense.

Google determines it using their automated virus scanner that runs on an undetermined schedule.

For a clarification, this is not about the PlaneShift client download, this is about the website...and just in case anyone has any doubt about psclient.
