Webpage distortion
« on: February 08, 2019, 01:26:29 PM »
Try loading this webpage on Chrome with Avast online security enabled. Now remove Avast and see the difference.

It isn't a website that I would have any reason to visit. It's also not my practice to visit
unknown websites.

If you feel I'm not to be trusted then I recommend you ignore this thread.

I never mentioned "trust" but simply mentioned my concern about visiting unknown websites which was my reason for asking for screenshots.

TBH I never considered the security aspect of asking people to load a strange webpage without their trusty Avast security extension to protect them. But now I do I can see the funny side.

Coriolis.IO is a much used and very useful website associated with the game Elite:Dangerous and, to the best of my knowledge, has no nasty surprises in store for the unwary. I've been using it for years. Those for whom this is insufficient reassurance will no doubt avoid it.

I'm certain no offense was ever intended by bob3160.

Just a degree of common sense and prudence.

For example, your link provided will not scan at urlquery.com.  Site says, "Invalid URL or failed to DNS lookup."  So at least one third-party site cannot scan your site for malware.

Screenshots please.

Oh Lord. I'm beginning to wish I'd never bothered to mention it. Look, if you're scared of it, avoid it.

Now if you were only using Avast, you might even be able to answer the questions asked by Subadei.  :(
