What. The. Fuck.

So by now, most of you are aware of the big red screen warning of malware or some such shit when you open the page to this site. So far it seems like it's only happening on PC and not mobile devices although I may be wrong, but I can open the site on my kindle without getting the warning. 
Some PC browsers display the warning, others don't.

I found out about it last night when a reader alerted me to it and I spent a good 2 hours trying to figure it out. About the only thing I found out is that it may be caused by software I installed. Only thing is, I haven't installed any software and I don't think I even have the ability to even if I wanted to.

Apparently somebody either reported me, google has a glitch in their system, or they're flagging me for conservative content.
Either of the scenarios seems likely because Peter sent me a couple links showing where Vox had the same problem about a week ago.



I did the same thing Vox did and submitted a request for a review - they reviewed his site, found nothing wrong, and removed the warning. His was done in a day or two, but the form I submitted says it may take up to a couple weeks.

I did a virus/malware scan on my laptop and it came up clean.
I open all links that I post and I haven't gotten any type of warning from my anti-virus saying that I shouldn't have done that.
I get all of my links from reputable sites and I haven't visited any unusual ones in I don't know how long, not even midget amputee porn sites.
I have made ZERO changes to my blog that may have triggered this.

I've got to take Lisa in for another doctor's appointment in a little while but when I return this afternoon, I'll continue to poke around to see if there's something I may have overlooked to fix this.

    There is a place to add comments if you feel to let google how you feel about them.

  6. Don't bother. It's not you. It's Google. You were targeted by one of their nasty little commies for conservative content, which they consider to be malware.

    1. I'm running the latest version of Firefox, and I got the Red Screen of tyranny.
      Had to click my way through it, then "X" out the pop up that persisted about "malicious content".
      Fuckin' commies.

      If you are taking flack, you are over the target.

    3. The red page came up when I tried pulling your site up on Duckduckgo and you were blocked, then I tried DDG in the incognito window, Same thing...blocked. I figured it was google blocking you. It will be fun watching Trump take these commie whorehouses down and scatter their parts to the wind.

  10. Happened on my PC with Firefox this am. Went away when by-passed. Appeared on a few friends I forwarded items from here. all of our scans reported clean.

  11. I read the conversation yesterday between you and the person who alerted you about the warning, so I know what you're speaking of.
    I am on a Mac Mini only, I do not have a PC or a mobile device/smart phone.
    On my Mac Mini I get no such warning. I get nothing, your site simply opens up for me with no issues.
    I have no clue if this info is helpful to you or not, I just wanted to report in, in case a little more info from another reader of your site might be of any help at all.
    Good luck sorting it out, I am of no help at all because as I tell people.....I am a total technology retard.
    It's amazing that I can even surf Al Gore's interwebs at all.

  18. Firefox, my standard on Windows 10, has the problem. Chrome works fine.
    Just add a few comment lines of "Orange Man Bad" in your html files, and you'll be fine.

  19. Been seeing that warning on a lot of blogspot sites. Google is doing something. This a Win 10 machine using Brave as the browser. I doubt you did anything and it is more facebook type crap.

    Nothing is free and we will being seeing more of this before it is all over.

    1. I pulled the post after an hour or so when a couple readers remarked that it wasn't a new dump, but one that had already been released.
      I also got an email from another reader saying he saw the red screen a couple days ago, but then it went away.

  26. What do you have against midget amputee porn? :-)

    I get the warning on my PC using Firefox, but not on my iPhone. Stupid Google is stupid.

  27. It's not very helpful if Google doesn't tell you specifically what they found that triggered their warning.

    Google: We found it for you, but you have to go find it again yourself. Sorry. Until then we will keep everyone safe from you. But we aren't going to tell them what we found either. Each user will have to wonder if their device has been compromised without any help from us. Again, sorry.

  28. I'm running the Chrome browser on Linux and I get the red warning screen. I installed the Vimeo download browser extension a couple of months ago and a couple of weeks ago I got a notice from Google that all 55 of my online accounts had been compromised. So even people who should know better can screw up big time.

  31. Not a big deal for me I can ignore the warning.

  32. I think it's coming from using blogspot to build your site, because I got the big red screen just now from a bookmark I created on Firefox. I don't use anything "Google" in my browsing; Chrome isn't even installed on my computer. You may wind up being forced to move your site to a different platform.

    1. I don't think so. After I kept getting the red flag last night, I scrolled around the other bloggers on ogdaa.blogspot.com, found on site with tons of gifs that kept me busy for awhile. All of Kenny's ogdaa blogging brothers loaded fine.

      I never paid much attention to google's BS about the https compared to the http. I think it was all a game to make some good money for awhile. Now days, lots of website hosts will give the "s" security away to domain owners.

      About a month ago, my email account was supposedly hacked. I have had an @att.net address for 20 years, hated yahoo but ran the email through them because att and yahoo are lashed up for emails sake. Yahoo blocked my account. So, I finally found a phone number to call and some live indian answered, checked my site and said Yup! you were hacked and you are going to lose the entire email account and everything you saved on it unless you let us clean it all up for you. I figured that for a scam and so I played along and asked what is it going to cost me. The very first number was $997 for a initial clean-up and five years of malware protection. Told him I couldn't afford that. He then gives me the three year deal, I told him he needed to get cheaper. He finally gave me the clean-up and protection for One year for $199. I then asked him what it would cost for one day? He wouldn't answer me.

      I told him I would call him back, I hope that cocksucker was waiting for my call for three days. I got into my password manager and either deleted or changed everything.

      I sent everyone my gmail address and in a week or so yahoo un-blocked my old account, but I won't use them any longer. All that email address now is spam. I really believe yahoo fucked up my account and then tried to extort me for money to "fix" it. And these slime balls get away with it with some people.

  36. I browse the web with a chromebook. It showed up to me also. I just bypassed it, knowing that the likely scenario was that someone doesn't like you. Not that you are an unlikable person, but that your thoughts go against the accepted Big Brother's approved thought list.
    I suspect that it will go away with you complaining. If not,say the word,and your friends will make life very hard for Google, and they will decide that you are not worth messing with, and will leave you alone- for the time being.

  37. The idea is to scare off people from viewing the site. This stops the growth of the community of readers. Somebody is scared that too many people are going here.

    In all fairness to Google, this site does talk about the 2nd amendment as if its still in the Constitution, makes fun of the recent election, and has suggested Joe Biden is a senile old man who gropes little girls.

  38. Happened here in the UK on my android phone this morning at 9.00am, just checked again on the phone and it is still there at 19.45pm when I put it through google. No problems on my laptop although it is bookmarked there.
    Keep up the good work Kenny we all need a laugh or two with all the crap going on in theworld.

  46. Still getting it today 12/30. Sent Firefox a nasty note about insidious influencing on their Phishing reporting line. Funny thing, they've shut down their User Feedback line so they can 'improve the customer experience', my, what a Coin-ky-dink. I don't use Google and I don't use Google Chrome so I am perplexed how Google can appoint themselves Gatekeeper to these private sites like yours Kenny.

  48. Happened on my phone last night, I searched for you on FF browser using Startpage Search, and then added you to my top page. Now it comes up no problem.
    On the laptop the red screen links you to a "learn more" page but you have to scroll down a bit to tell them to allow this.
    A pop-up will appear at the top of the page giving you one more chance at repentance, but screw them.
    I just think they are making a list of all of us.
    Also I think the MSM dicks are going to be coming out with a list of all the websites that bomber clown visited in the last 15 years so they will say they all have to be banned, you watch.
