Just FYI, my employer has added the bmwmoa forum to its list of blocked sites. Reason given was for malicious or dangerous content.!.!

I suspect your employer is more concerned with the fact you are goofing off when you should be working. Or is "research" here a necessary part of your job? If you are in any way employed by BWM, I think I get their point. Unfortunately.

I'm not sure if you were on over the past weekend, we had a virus/malicious script give us a go. That event triggered warnings with most anti-virus programs/browsers. How about checking to see if this is why..................or they just don't want you on while at work Thanks, OM

A ton of virus alerts over the past week or so.

I think Jeff at HQ has worked thru the bugs, but most likely why an employer has black-listed the BMW MOA.

A recurring problem, especially when you share your computer/e-mail with 1,700 other users!

The company actually has a very reasonable use policy, before/after hours & lunch are OK. They also are very open about their reasons when non-business sites get blocked. Sites that contain inappropriate content and are obviously blocked. Social media sites usually just produce a warning. In this case, the term "malicious content" was used so I suspect that is a reasonable description of the problem.

I wonder how infected sites get off the blacklist once they are cleaned up ?

That's up to your IT person. Ask.

It would seem that for some search engines it's a time thing.

That's a good start.............
I sorta got hollered at a place yesterday for "end running" some of the "blocks" yesterday...............I thought I had fixed a problem...

This site has been infected way too often lately. Every time I access it from work and there is a problem with it being infected an "incident report" is logged with not only the site name, but my name. This is really bad.

I deleted my bookmark at work for this reason. If the site is going to be infected, I am tired of having incident reports logged that could get me into a lot of trouble.

It is listed as a malicious site by mcafee.
Go to http://www.trustedsource.org/en/feed...on=checksingle
And enter http://www.bmwmoa.org/forum

Typically your it folks are not blocking them rather hey subscribe to a service like mcafee or barracuda which detects and blacklists sites automatically.

Usually mcafee will clear in a few days, but says admins can contact them and asked to be cleared.

I hope this helps.

Btw, no issues with tapatalk on an iPad.

The MOA website is showing up blocked on my computer today as well (started last night). I attached a screenshot as a PDF if that's helpful. It does not seem to matter which browser I use (Safari or Firefox). So far, I am able to ignore the warning to get to the site.

I'd suggest that you clear your cache/cookies. This was a problem last week but should be resolved by now.
