Malicious File Alert
Today i am getting malicious message alert when i try to download any file with chrome.
It says website may be hacked try again later.

Perffffff can request removal from the list of malware sites by using this website: https://www.stopbadware.org/request-review (according to mozilla firefox). Also see http://mzl.la/1BAVoBE at the bottom. |

In the meantime, just turn off the protection for malicious sites/software in your browser. |

I noticed the past few weeks when i downloaded a file there was about a 5 second delay before it downloaded as if it was scanning automatically by my security software.
I thought it was some norton security new feature at first,but no it's chrome and it's freakng annoying this is.
Also i deleted broadjump client 5 days ago which has been on my computer for many years without much trouble but recently it was draining 50 percent of my computing power mostly all the time,so enough was enough,but nothing to do with this problem i think just minor spyware crap proggy. |

Unchecked "protect you and your device from dangerous sites" in privacy settings in chrome browser and seems to have done the trick.
Norton should be automatically doing the same job anyway so no probs.(:-) |

3rd party Anti-virus is a waste of resources on Windows 10. The built in virus and malware checkers are just as good and don't use nearly as much resources (even though you will still see periods where it will spike one processor core). |

Edge allows you to download it just fine without having to expose your computer to actual malware. |

I doubt edge will work on windows xp especially my computer its an old pentium 4 processor running 3 ghz with 4gb of ram ddr2 266.7 mhz lol.
I don't think it would work on xp.
Im dreading the day though when win xp is finished altogether.(:-( |

You need more than anti-virus to protect XP. It's way beyond it's point of "finished altogether". |

I think win xp will still keep going for the time being because lot's of poor countrys still have them.
Even south korea still uses win xp and continues to make animations with them blowing the whitehouse up lol.
I just might one day get my money out and buy a new computer haha. |

Even on chromium / linux o_O I always thought that would be the "chrome"-version where they leave out the annoying crap. |

I've traced the problem to the script "getinternalfile" which is responsible for fetching any file uploaded to CSDb.
It looks like it's only this file that is marked. I made a copy "getinternalfile2 and that works just fine! :)
So this could be a workaround till I see if I can get the other one unbanned.
I need to change the links so the copy is used instead.
Won't be till tomorrow though.. :/ |

Oh well.. Guess it's tomorrow already. ;)
I fixed so it uses the copy-script instead. (The link shows the old script though).
Works from my Chrome now. ;) |

Wonder of technology, this filename-based malware detection mechanism. The bad guys will never be able to figure it out.
Thanks Perff! |

Quoting Mr AmmoIn the meantime, just turn off the protection for malicious sites/software in your browser.
Just what I did in FF yesterday.
Hadn't even known yet that browsers come including pesudo security snake oil nowadays /o\ Do they want to make Avira, Norton, McAffe, Acast and other annoying shit bankrupt?
Anyway, interesting solution approach, thx, Perff
PS: works on FF too now with nonsense activated ^^ |

The life span of this work-around by Perf has ended.
Both firefox and google chrome are complaining^H^H^H^H^H^ warning again that the files are malicous / virus / malware. |

This marking of a file as suspicious based on how frequently it is downloaded is dubious to me altogether. Is something that is rarely downloaded inherently dangerous? I don't buy it. :D Especially files in a non-executable format... |

It's time for getinternalfile3.php ;-) Maybe just install a cronjob to rename automagically every 4 weeks or so ... |

The problem could be solved by changing the URL to e.g.:
http://csdb.dk/entry/24970/download.php
Where the CSDb entry ID is in the URL. Then search engines will only mark the URLs that they suspect to be malicious and not everything anymore. |

Great suggestion Fred, hopefully @Perff can act. |

For the time being, annoyed users should just change browser settings to from super to normal paranoid. Most of you have enough further snake oil installed to "protect" you, anyway. |

I have now made a new little trick that hopefully should fix the problem more permanently! :)
Let me know if there are any download problems! |
