False security alert

Postby pete » Fri Oct 12, 2018 3:00 am

Many users have seen the 'Attack site' report.

This is a false report and is being cleared by Google right now.

Meanwhile just click past the alerts - WE ARE SAFE - nothing has changed

Thanks for the heads up Pete, with the power cuts down here it's been a fun time getting on to Simviation. :o

Cheers

The whole site is scanned and clean. It seems it will take google some time to realise this and they remove the warning (which is a false alarm) :cry:

We did find one page in HJG (historic jets group - we host HJG on our server) with an advert that lead to a free hosting website and it seems on that website there is a bad site. It's crazy how that can effect us .....

That page has been removed and the ad will not re-appear.

BUT 100% assured - simviation.com is SAFE.

I know simviation is alright.

I bypassed alerts and had zero problem. Also my Norton did not show up any issue.

Seems ok on my screen now.

ii thought I got it because I was on my laptop which still had win xp on it. I had since upgraded but not happy with the result. My hdd is 1TB and have 8GB RAM but even on the lowest settings FSX skips. I cant lower the FPS under 10 so im stuck with subpar permance :(
