For the second time in the last couple of months, a blog on my blogroll has been found to be a source of malware and the warning then shows up for my blog as well. I loved having a blogroll, and may gradually restore it some day, but for the time being I want to be extra cautious. I hope that it is now safe to post comments here, and hope that some brave reader will try it so that we can make sure that my blog is safe. Thank you, Barbara of Life from the Roots for alerting me to this problem!
A pity, because I enjoy the blogrolls, too. But not enough to deal with the problems. You seem to be up and running.
ReplyDeleteGreta,
ReplyDeleteHow would I be able to tell if one of the blogs on my blogroll are troublemakers?
No nasty messages popping up here. Bummer about the blogroll.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know that was possible. It's hard to keep up with all of the ways you can get into trouble on the internet these days. Sometimes I just want to go live in a little house on the prairie sometimes.
ReplyDeleteLike Sheri, I would like to know how you figured out which blog was the "demon". But, I would take mine off in a heartbeat if I thought it was causing this kind of trouble.
ReplyDeleteThank you to all of you for letting me know that things are OK now. The post above tells what is, as far as I know, the only way to find out who/what the troublemakers are. There may be a way to do diagnostics that will tell you, but I don't know what it is. And I suspect that the blogs having the problems are unaware of the problem - it may be caused by a bad link on their pages.
ReplyDeleteSorry that happened to you, Greta! I may just remove my blog roll.
ReplyDeleteCheryl - Until Blogger gets that widget fixed, it looks like blogrolls have the potential to cause problems; I really hated to remove that blogroll.
