I am not sure Usha di.

Could be some virus from some other site that is creating this issue.

Searching through Google Groups support, I found this page:

https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/security/hacked/

But I am not knowledgeable about this. I depend on a standard security software (Norton Security) installed in my system.

Regards.

I just opened the link in my mobile and there was no issue.

in ios ....apple there is no issue.

but thats murder on my eyesight and hands to keep holding a mobile for too long....

so i do this eflora on desktop... its windows and google

Dinesh and Garg ji

so may be my copy of google or firefox is contaminated, ????

so may be delete google ,  firefox and internet explorer and reinstall explorer and google may solve it?

[Dinesh Valke]

I do not think Google helps solving such issue.

It is something to do with some viral activity in your computer.

It must have sneaked in from some recently first-time visited website.

That virus needs to be tackled.

Try searching knowledge for sorting the issue of "Attackers on googlegroups.com may trick you into" by copy-pasting the string of words between quotes in Google search.

From results, check those which lead to discussions in forums. May be some solutions will come to light.

Other than this, I am not sure of any other approach.

No harm in uninstalling & re-installing Firefox (or any other browser that you use).

Else hire service of any computer maintenance expert from your area (give them brief idea what you are seeking).

All of above are merely my thoughts.

Regards.

Dinesh

[Ushadi Micromini]

Thanks Dinesh

my computer guy is not in town

i may have to do it myself

i''ss sleep on it 

and then decide if i simply want to delete the browsers all three?

or what

Same here, I cannot open images in Mozilla, I can access pages.

But in Chrome I get the red page at the site URL itself.

Thanks, Alka ji.

It is better to use IE for the time being, which I always use.

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 will be no issue as I always come across many such warnings in different sites and I always browse, if I need to check some information over there.

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

[J.M. Garg]

I have also reported the matter to Google at home page with the following message:

"Google Chrome is showing site security as Dangerous on the left of the Address Bar. Pl. check and help in showing site as normal and not Dangerous"

Now that you brought this up , Usha Ji , this has happened to me too long back , but somehow it got resolved on its own . I didn't do anything .

 I think this has to do with antivirus you use . I have disabled window's security , use Quickheal on desktop and bitdefender on mobile .

 On two new machine there were avast and Mcaffee 

pre installed and they were interrupting a lot not only with efi but with general net surfing too  . Norton on mobile was a nuisance . I  suggest you wait for few days ,

else do something with antivirus .

Thanks, Rakesh

I was thinking of calling up or writing to Quickheal.

Norton was a nuicance, i got rid of it a long ago.

may will have to disable defender, but i hesitate in these days of uncontrolled invasion

I think if we have two anti virus software working simultaneously, than there may be some problem.

Today it happened to me . 
Google says it is sending such messages to four million users daily , and primary objective seems to be making users aware of security threats .........

for example , some hacker may infiltrate the group and ask for private informations etc. It is a lot of reading on so many links . 
Way out of that red alert is...........

click on the box below the mwssage written 'details' inside ........

page gets extended .........

click on ' visit this unsafe site ' .......and desired page opens up . 

In reality , our group is not in problem . This seems to be a safety  exercise by google and chrome being carried out vigorously on chrome for PC , and only tangentially on android and google/chrome for mobile , as per google's own admission .

[J.M. Garg]
