Imagehost Problems, Imagebam, Imagevenue, PimpAndHost, PixHost, ImgBox etc

Agree with Mr Lincs on this. At various times my antivirus software has kicked in with warnings about most adult sites, including this one.

Man alive every second page with imagevenue is being blocked by google chrome!

i hope they get it taken care off!

Yeah, it does come up with a warning even with Firefox but when checking the reason it says:

"What is the current listing status for img187.imagevenue.com?

This site is not currently listed as suspicious.

What happened when Google visited this site?

Of the 22 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2014-09-20, and suspicious content was never found on this site within the past 90 days.

This site was hosted on 1 network(s) including AS32613 (IWEB-AS).

Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?

Over the past 90 days, img187.imagevenue.com did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.

Has this site hosted malware?

No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days."

Seems like Google has a problem

That just possibly means those 2 browsers for their own reasons have blocked it
whether other chromium browsers are similar is anyones guess

Virustotal has nobody reporting imagevenue as being infected

https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/c7...0b12/analysis/

That specific 127 img returns clean though its plausible at one stage it was probably infected - blocking an entire site is complete overkill

Your best course of action is to find the online forums for those browsers
see whats being said

Its not the first time something chromium related has taken a blanket approach
based on very little - last year they were blocking youtube and many other sites on a few malware reports

In the mean time try a browser with different rendering engine than chromium

What pisses me off the most is that when you bypass the warning and go to the page google blocks it 2 seconds after! up until now my pc has had no malware, what gives Chrome the right to completely block a page because there suspicious? :|

You can turn off malware and phishing settings in advanced but is it a good idea?

[buttsie]

Its never a good idea to let down any part of PCs security

Depending on what operating system your using new malware threats can easily not even be on the radar of your security software so your relying on your browsers inbuilt security , security add-ons etc

Malware & grayware are now so prevalent that new threats are being made in such numbers security suites are always behind the game

Consider this that VEF had a plugin issue not long ago that came out of the blue so your browser would be vulnerable to that type of issue even before you click on an IV image

What happens when you want to go to another site besides IV or VEF
turn the phishing back on - sounds very messy - if you forget to do it?

Not worth the risk when you can easily use an alternative browser

Currently getting this Block/Alert Re:ImageVenue (server165?)
