Site flagged ?
-
anyone else getting these reports through your browsers?
I get it in Opera/Firefox and Google Chrome when I use the links supplied by PA team via Twitter.
-
Just checked it and yes I do.
-
I am getting those too. All the download links in Twitter that link to the “test” versions seem to give that. Maybe someone has erroneously reported the URL as spam or something.
-
bit.ly is currently most popular url shortening service, so someone probably flagged it (and in general, you dont really know what was shortened, so spammers can use it too).

Good points, but in this case it’s a warning that comes from bit.ly themselves, as you can see by looking at the URL. So, I suspect that someone has reported the powerarchiver.com url as “spam or unsolicited software or web sites” to bit.ly admins, who then chose to display that warning to users.
-
When I got that it also listed the target url - so I “knew” it was PowerArchiver and ignored the warning.
Note: Couldn’t find a link to report a “false warning” though.

yeah, pretty sucky system it seems… i fired off an email and if it does not get fixed by monday, we will stop using it.
very annoying.
