My site is NOT an “attack site” as alleged by google-chrome! Is there a fix?

  • Hello. Google-chrome is listing my gardening newsletter site as an attack site, and urging visitors to back away. It’s not an attack site. It doesn’t even have a donation button. It’s an archive of cactus gardening newsletters from 1989 to 2016. The newsletters for half that period have been embedded using PDF Poster Pro. It seems that google can call a site an attack site if it has lots of PDF downloads. My pdfs are NOT for download. I specifically paid for PDF Poster Pro to prevent downloads. However, even with settings on protect from download, the plugin gives away the file name of each pdf in a popup menu top-right on the embed.

    I have written to the plugin people for a fix for this before I found the “attack site” banning. Wrote again today.

    However, I don’t know for sure if that’s the cause of the “attack site” label from google-chrome.

    I would appreciate feedback from anyone who can advise me as to why google-chrome has banned a gardening newsletter site as an attack site.

    Is it the mass of PDF files embedded? They are free to read and not to be downloaded.

    Is it the free Business Directory plugin? With no funds requested and no payment methods installed anywhere on my site, not even a donation button.

    Is there any way I can stop google-chrome from falsely calling my gardening newsletter site an “attack site”? Sign up to google for something or other to prove it’s clean?

    I don’t know what to do, please help.

    Thanks in advance.

  • I don’t see ANY warning when I visit your site in Google Chrome or any other browser.

    Google’s Safe Browsing Report does not list any issue with your website.

    Virustotal does not list any security vendor flagging your site.

    If you’re still seeing the warning, simply click on the appropriate link on the warning page and report it as an error, rather than making up a probable cause and troubling yourself to “solve” a problem which may not exist. PDF files per se, even if made available for download, would have nothing to do with this (unless people are reporting getting malware after downloading your PDF files).

    Good luck!
