Now if we have some more people say it’s safe I will believe it’s safe. Is there anybody else willing to be a guinea pig and test the site?

The website is made in FrontPage.

Not every browser is willing to render FrontPage based sites correctly. However I digress from what I wanted to really say.

Here is what you may like to do to improve your surfing experience.......

The Hydra website includes a script that optimises the site for you. The script is installed maybe by your broadband provider. A good stab at this is that you have a USB wireless dongle for your internet connection.

It's called bmi.js.

IMO the website is safe. Over safe.

I don’t understand. So why is google saying hydrachess .com is not safe? Is google saying FrontPage or the optimization script, bmi.js, are dangerous? Google is so stupid they are flagging safe pages as dangerous?

I would check if I were you with your internet provider.

It is debatable as to why such stuff might be used.

Google is correct. The site is loading javascript from a chinese site

Code: Select all

<script src="http://1.verynx.cn/w.js"></script>

LOL. I might have known it would be you.

Do you really think that anyone sane is going to look at a direct link to a script that you post here? If they do, more fool them.

Watch carefully.

OK so far?

What about this? OK so far?

Now....I would get your computer checked if I were you.



Maybe it is loading the w.js that is not there.....

Maybe you should Google it.



You've made my day....do you realise that?

To gerold:
If the virus were doing its job as intended then you would never know it is stealing your passwords, sending spam or working as part of botnet. If you are not having a problem today then maybe the virus is good at hiding and has not been detected yet.

To Christopher:
What does my internet provider have to do with what google says? Will google say 1 page is good for some people and bad for other people based on their internet provider?

If you went there and had a problem about how the site looked.....

With regard to your internet provider, the reason I gave may be why some (in the past as well) have found the Hydra site to be slow and not show correctly for them. It could be that what your internet provider gives you as hardware is what causes that problem.

If you were worried about going there to see the site......

Google on the other hand flags the site as unsafe possibly because there is external javascript in the code of the site. The thing is that while that script (w.js) mentioned above is in the code, it does not exist nor does the site itself where it was hosted. This begs the question, should the script be there. Has the page been hacked and the code written into the page maliciously or is that reference to that script just old/broken and legitimate. Either way the page does not/can not run the script.

So to answer the question you had.....

Is the site safe to visit?

Yes, IMO right now it is. If the reference to that script were taken away from the page, Google might say it was safe too.

Maybe it would be wise to send one of the Hydra team the above information if you are still concerned.
