As few of you are facing problem in accessing efloraofindia site, pl. try this.
I searched on 'How to add a site to trusted sites in internet Explorer'.
Here are the details:
To do this, follow these steps:
  1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, click Internet Options, and then click the Security tab.
  2. Click Trusted Sites, and then click Sites.
  3. Add https://sites.google.com under 'Add this website to the zone'. Click on Add. Click on Close.
I already have this since long. Hope this problem will go away.
Similarly you can search for other browsers like Chrome, Firefox etc. 'How to add a site to trusted sites in Chrome or Firefox'

I think the problem is created by Anti viruses and not by them.
They is no question of dumping google groups as far as I know.

Thank you Mr.Garg . I kept reporting it as false positive but the problem persisted. Once I changed it as trusted site, the problem is solved.

Hi, Ushadi,
I searched in google as 'how to add a site to trusted sites in chrome'.
Here are the details:
Google Chrome
  1. Click the 3 horizontal lines icon on the far right of the Address bar.
  2. Click on Settings, scroll to the bottom and click the Show Advanced Settings link.
  3. Click on Change proxy settings.
  4. Click the Security tab > Trusted Sites icon, then click Sites.
  5. Enter the URL of your Trusted Site, then click Add.

A feedback from Nidhan ji:
Facing the same problem with chrome, tried to add the site in trusted sites, by following the steps for chrome..but this did not work..
A you tube video guides about the google console if one has to use chrome, but probably it is to be done by the site administrator only..
It is long time since I have used explorer or any other browser..thus not willing to go away from chrome!!
But when chrome deceives, many of us have to return to other browsers, this problem needs to be resolved, because many visitors (including the first timers) who use chrome will not get access to the site..I hope the technical experts Dinesh Ji and Rawat Ji will explore more...

I was always having our site in Trusted sites list in Chrome also, which I found on checking.
I tried opening the pages- they are all showing up with thumbnails on signing in at the bottom.
But on clicking on images, I am also getting Deceptive site ahead message like
screen shot.png

On clicking on details, I reported the matter to Google by clicking 'You can report a detection problem' under Details with remarks as below:
'This is happening from last 5 to 6 days in Chrome on clicking on any image, for all pages in this Google site but is OK in Internet Explorer. Earlier for last 9 years it was never like it.'

Hope Google takes action. It is basically a Chrome problem as I am not facing any such problem in Internet Explorer.
I request all the members to pl. report the matter to google by clicking 'You can report a detection problem' under Details with suitable remarks.
If more members report, Google will certainly take cognizance and do the needful. 

As advised earlier, members should also ignore the warning and click on visit this unsafe site under details, to see the images etc. as it is a false message.

Garg ji,
I have added the eFI group [ https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/indiantreepix ] as well as eFI site [ https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/ ] to trusted sites.

I use Firefox browser. I tried using other installed browser Internet Explorer.

The eFI group does not have any issues in either browser.
The eFI site has some issues for me, despite having added both the sites to trusted sites (in both browsers).
The issues, in my case, arise only when I click on links pertaining to inserted images.


On this page most of the inserted images are not displayed - instead their links are displayed in text.
Clicking on them, in Firefox, brings up the red screen with warning AND in Explorer, it shows a warning along with set of pictures that are to be checked based on a question asked to rule out any robot activity. On clicking correct images, the inserted image is displayed.


I have a feeling that the inserted images' links seem to have been tampered - but I have no knowledge about this subject.

Here is a an example link of inserted image

If the above link is clicked - for most people, it will show the page with warning.

BUT if one crops the above link to a certain length ..
then we reach the page that shows the image.
Of course, this is a cumbersome workaround, no one would want to attempt it everytime.


The appended part of the link ... &vt=ANaJVrGKf3ve4d-p_M7w6AuVn49_mOHReTBs8kTVcu9sD6e5tZKSyeweLjPsZgGT9plP_Zi14EWy6qbP-AgQ-Z82UejiQykRlDDR532B9lSF6LXN7010DDg seems to be reason for the issue.
It is different (unique) as if generated on the fly while the web page is downloaded.

But I do not know this security subject and the way to tackle it.

Perhaps some hacker's job. But I am not at all sure.

I hope the activity will not persist forever.

Regards.
Dinesh

Thanks, Dinesh ji, 
I also observed the same when I tried to use Chrome yesterday. The reason is that Chrome showed it as a Dangerous site. I reported the matter to both Google and Google sites. 
I request you and others also to pl. report to Google at the given link.
It is not because of the issue, you stated as because images are inserted in both both ways you stated and there is never have been an issue. 
I am daily working with efi site in IE and never faced a problem like this. 
I think this problem will go away if all of us report the matter to Google and they take the action.

I again checked Chrome just now.
It shows it as a Dangerous site on the left side of the address bar.
I can see the thumbnail images, but on clicking them Deceptive site ahead red screen came and I reported the matter to Google again like
'This is happening from last 5 to 6 days in Chrome on clicking on any image, for all pages in this Google site but is OK in Internet Explorer. Earlier for last 9 years it was never like it.'

I also reported the matter to Google sites, under Report an Issue like this:
'Chrome showing this google sites as Dangerous as can be seen on the left side of the address bar. Due to this members are getting Deceptive site ahead warning on clicking on images. Pl. look into it and rectify.'

By the way, perhaps somebody may have already put their observation ... there is no such experience when surfing through android phone. I see all thumbnails of images, and on-click show their larger version. Though I could spot some instances where the image was not seen nor its link - just blank space.

Regards.

I further checked on my Laptop at home just now, on Chrome.
It shows it as a Dangerous site on the left side of the address bar on sign in and not before that.
I can see the thumbnail images after sign in (but only addresses without it), but on clicking them Deceptive site ahead red screen came and I reported the matter to Google again like
'This is happening from last 7 to 8 days in Chrome on clicking on any image, for all pages in this Google site but is OK in Internet Explorer. Earlier for last 9 years it was never like it.'

I also reported the matter to Google sites, under Report an Issue like this:
'Chrome showing this google site as Dangerous as can be seen on the left side of the address bar. Due to this, persons who want to access this site, are getting Deceptive Site Ahead warning on clicking on images. Pl. look into it and rectify.'

I do not have any problem what so ever in Internet Explorer, not even on clicking on images.

So problem basically appears to be of Chrome marking this site as Dangerous.

Perhaps it is something to do with frequent updates that happen to browsers (and other apps too).
The latest updates, whether it is Chrome, or any other, the updates may have changed some security policies, resulting in these warnings.
Hope they re-update and make them null.
Regards.

I think there appears to be some activity in Google sites as I am unable to sign in and get Edit menu on efi google site in Internet explorer.
However, I am able to sign in and Edit in Chrome.

After adding Google sites under Trusted Sites, I have now worked in editing of efi site in Chrome, after signing in at the bottom of any efi site page.
I see all the thumbnails and found no difficulty at all except I have to ignore that red page warning (which comes once in a while) and work on this stated to be dangerous site.
So I think if you sign in, you will be able to see all the thumbnails on the page, which I think was the main worry.

Garg ji
I mostly use Firefox on Desktop and Laptop. I rarely use Microsoft Edge and Chrome.
I have never encountered such problem. Today, opened efloraofindia in Edge and Chrome but no issue was encountered.
Antivirus installed in my system is Quick Heal Total Security.

Hi, Mahadeswara ji,
Click on the Details (instead of Back to Safety), shown in the red by you.
And here and ignore the warning and browse on the link given.
I feel there is no issue as I always come across many such warnings in different sites, including ours and I always browse, if I need to check some information over there.

Same Google Chrome is showing this site 'No unsafe content found'

I am able to sign in and Edit in Chrome, at the bottom of the page. I see all the thumbnails and found no difficulty at all except I have to ignore that red page warning (which comes once in a while).

Mr. Garg Sir. I want to report a small hack through which you can browse through eflorasite and view thumbnails without getting any sort of warning as deceptive site. If you go to settings in google chrome, you will find something called safe browsing. If you turn it off, then chrome doesnt check the site's security and hence you can view the site without any warnings and red screens. This is not a permanent solution as we need chrome to monitor the site's authenticity. So i would suggest turning safe browsing off while accessing the eflora site and later turn it on. Long term solution would be to purchase a ssl certificate of somekind or request a a review from google which might solve our problem.

Thanks, Ralatson ji, for your valuable views.
But why you write Ralatson's hacks- it sometimes give scary feeling.

I have been writing to Google as well as Google sites, everyday.
Hope they look into the matter and sort it out.
I think it may have come up due to some updates in Chrome etc. (as pointed out by Dinesh ji earlier), which should be rectified by them in due course.

I did as advised by Mr. Ralastan . It works for home page , Not working for family/Genus/Species subpages . My only wayout is clicking on details on red page , and clicking on ''visit unsafe page'' .
