Microsoft Security Essentials blocked tpc.googlesyndication.com hosted by seekingalpha.com.  I had to return to my homepage (not SA homepage).  This is the third consecutive day I have been unable to finish reading an article,  Thanks for looking into this.

Unsafe website warning

Microsoft blocked www.dianomi.com hosted by seeking alpha.  The only permitted action was to return to my home page.  It's getting to the point where my only access to SA is via mobile.  Please fix this.  Thank you.

Your article about Perseus mining is being blocked by Microsoft security Essentials and also other articles. stating they are unsafe. Thank You.

It happened again this morning.  This time the offending website was tpc.googlesyndication.com.  The warning directs me back to my home page (thus exiting SA).  This problem makes desktop SA essentially unusable.

www.dianomi.com struck again just a few moments ago (Dec 29th).  Directed back to homepage.  I'll keep trying because I do enjoy reading SA.

Hi All,

From our research it looks like some of you may have Malware on your computer or mobile device.

See here: https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-reward-center/ and here: https://www.symantec.com/blogs/threat-intelligence/congratulations-you-won-scam-android

Please download and install Malwarebytes: https://www.malwarebytes.com/products/ and let us know if it finds any Malware on your device.

Thanks,

Did it again this AM the 30th. MSE blocked it.  Both laptop and desktop. Home page OK but cannot go anywhere else to read. I run both MSE and Malware Bytes. Right after this occurred I scanned with MAL B and it picked up nothing but MSE did. I looked into recent updates in control panel and found nothing suspicious. I will look into the links you have provided. As you can see I'm not the only one having problems. So right now SA is still unusable.

MSE just blocked tps.googlesyndication.com.  I am running MalwareBytes as jzut does.  I'll give the malwaretips link from Daniel Hochman a try.  Unfortunately, SA remains unusable on the desktop.  Phone is fine.

If WE have a malware problem on our machines why are OUR machines not acting strangely. Nothing picked up by MAL B or MSE. But immediately picked up and BLOCKED by MSE only off YOUR site trying to put something on our machines.

Possibly really good news.  I noticed MalwareBytes was running with "scan root kit" switched off (no clue as to why it was ever switched off).  I turned it back on and did a full scan.  There were 3 detections though no quarantines.  Nevertheless, I have just finished reading 3 articles on SA with no appearance of the dreaded red screen. 


JZUT: I hope your issue is identical to mine and can be resolved quickly. Also, I had the same experience as you: no problems elsewhere to my knowledge, just SA.

Brad. I did the same thing and had no detections or quarantines. I have MAL B free on desktop and free trial on laptop. Didn't work. Same BS. MSE red screen and MSE blocked a Trojan downloader some thing on both machines. I've been thinking about getting MAL B premium. It says 2 machines for $50/yr. I can do all those links  that Daniel listed. That will take some time to go thru.
