Thanks guys for reporting it as a good site. I don't understand google sometimes. I wish they would let me know what part of the site they think is despetive?


I'm not an IT professional but I read there is a known vulnerability in the VBulletin software that comprises these forums and my guess is that someone exploited it. Before google outright blocked the site when I tried to access Oilburners.net I would be redirected to some fileshare page which probably contained a link to download some malware/spyware/virus/other. I'm sure google has implemented their system because soooooo many people are fooled by deceptive websites which are responsible for a lot of the identity theft and bot-net proliferation. In general if a site suddenly asks you to download something the best choice is always NO! Again, the problem seems to be with the VBulletin software and some lame hacker probably overseas somewhere.

Avast is now blocking the site completely. Have to turn off virus protection to get in.

AVAST was blocking it on my system also, but for only 2 days. It claimed there was malware on the site, wouldn't allow me in. Glad to see things are good again. Thank you all who worked on this problem and fixed it so quickly.:Thumbs Up
