Developing/Browsing Your Website when its still blacklisted by Google Safe Browsing

30 July 2009 1,242 views Comments Permanent Link

In your Browser open a new Tab
Type “about:config” in the address bar and press Enter
Search for
“browser.safebrowsing” or simply “safebrowsing”
Set the value of the following settings to false

browser.safebrowsing.enabled
browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled

By clicking on Toggle after right Clicking…

And move on…
Whitelisting In Google will take time…

PS:

This is for the moment when you see a warning message like the followings:

Reported Attack Site!

This web site at contentmixi.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.

Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.

  • Good info, but I still believe that we can wait for some time for Google to white-list the website again rather than making a hasty decision of visiting a black listed website. Remember, it may also contain malware. Prevention is better than cure!
  • Rohit,

    Like other Readers of this Post you too seem to be missing the text "Developing" and "Your Website"

    Once you have removed the malicious code from your own Website you know there is no risk, while it will take some time before Google Safe Browsing white lists your Website.

    But You need to keep working on your own Website and make changes perhaps...

    Now, every time you visit your own site you are presented with the Safe Browsing message.

    I needed to disable it myself when trying to fix and keep working o one of my Websites.

    well i think its not a good idea, by doing this you are actually allowing that malware to attack your other sites too..
  • @Sunny

    Not exactly..

    It will only open room for your System being infected by the virus if all other precautions(Like Anti Virus in your System) too fail.

    This doesn't directly affects your Other Sites.

    Ofcourse you need to be careful and re-enable SafeBrowsing when done.

    For me as I use Linux, The chances of my System getting infected is not much.

    Besides I take other Measures for Security like connecting using SFTP instead of Plain FTP and also having robust Passwords and not writing them down anywhere..

    I will post the Best Practices for Passwords soon..

    I have already written it but haven't had the time to Post..

    Cheers,

    ya actually most of the time anti-virus fail to restrict them to infect our system and then our sites as well by injecting some malware code in our html or php files by using FTP credentials, but as you are using Linux and SFTP as well so no worries for you.. unfortunately i am still on windows not getting enough time for a linux shift.
