Question:
How to get rid of, "This is a known phishing site."?
2010-09-20 17:12:36 UTC
When I try to access a forum, which is:

forum.darkgunz.com

I get this:
This is a known phishing
site.forum.darkgunz.com
Why am I seeing this?
Your D-Link router's advanced DNS services feature prevented you from loading this page to protect you from potentially harmful sites.

What is phishing?
Phishing is a method that criminals use to steal valuable personal information from you, such as credit card numbers and passwords, by impersonating legitimate, trustworthy sites.

I don;t know why this is happening. Can you help me get back on the site? The site isn't even a phishing site, and I just want to get back on there...

Thank you.
Btw, I use GOOGLE CHROME.

Someone somewhere reported this site as a phishing site and it was verified-- very possible someone posted something malicious there at one time. I just used Google Chrome to access the page and it came up without a hitch. You will need to access your routers firewall or DNS settings and allow this site to go through.



Phishing is a form of scam where someone makes a fake page (say, US Bank) claiming to be a person but usually a company requesting you to verify your account information one way or another (your account has been compromised, please enter your user name and password to log-in and change your security settings). If you've ever got an email from a bank you don't have an account with stating your settings have been changed-- that is an example of phishing.

The site could have a virus in in, without the site owner even knowing about it. Hackers can attach viruses to other people sites. If it says there's one there, I'd trust it. Get some heavy duty protection in place, then go into the site and see if any alarms go off
