(Issue is fixed) Chrome flagging the startisback website as dangerous

[NotAViper]

I just tried to go to the website to reinstall the software and got this message on chrome, just reported it as a false positive which you can do right here: https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_error/?hl=en

Good to do. No idea why AI overlord decided to dislike StartIsBack

[mimi]

same issue my trial period has ended and I would like that website to work.

I have submitted my request at https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_error/?hl=en

I hope it helps

Under details click, visit this unsafe site.

Thanks Gemini!

It is blocked by Google Safe Browsing which is also used by Firefox.
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen equips Edge.

In Edge I use both Google Safe Browsing + Microsoft Defender SmartScreen.

Google Safe Browsing feature at the browser level has priority over a DNS-level block.

An analysis at VT shows (currently) that the website is not dangerous.

It's so annoying when google does this, another tech youtuber which I watch, his website was flagged as dangerous for no reason. It's stupid.

startallback.com is now flagged as well.

Can we get no insight into what's causing such flagging?

[Tihiy]

No, there's nothing. AI has determined app as 'potentially unwanted software' and there's no way to appeal.

Have you considered reaching out to some tech blogs? Sometimes a little media coverage is enough to get things done. SAB is a pretty popular app and if a few smaller blogs pick this up and you maybe get a larger one like Neowin to run this it may get Google's attention.

Pretty good idea, SAB is pretty popular. Maybe some tech blogs can cover this.

You know I wonder if this has something to do with using a Russian company to host the website. Both domains seem to be hosted with sprinthost.ru, but pby.ru isn't from what I can see and that isn't getting flagged. Maybe it's something to do with the hosting provider that is causing Google to flag the domains. 

Edit: I should clarify, I'm specifically referring to the nameservers. Maybe Google has decided it doesn't like them...

I don't think any kind of speculation can help. Google human contacts can though.

I agree! Hopefully there is a way for you to get through to a person over there. We are all rooting for you! Hopefully someone who knows someone at Google will see your tweet.

Maybe try to get some YouTubers involved, LinusTechTips recently mentioned StartAllBack on their TechLinked show. They have direct contacts at Google.

Edit: I sent a news tip to Neowin and also tagged Zac Bowden on Twitter. Hopefully one of the Microsoft focused blogs will cover this and get Google's attention.
