As I read this do not live in the Villages yet I am posing as a villager. The high risk content is you will be older tomorrow. Legitimate villagers get younger by posting or at least less mature.

Nothing from Comcast

[epratt]

I use xfinity on an iPad. I have been getting this notice every day. I just click on where it says and I get into the forum with no problem.

Some mornings I do get it ,I just hit PROCEED

[bd20166]

Yes I get that message. I assumed it was a service of my recently updated Opera browser.
It does not appear anywhere else except TOTV.

Welllll, this site is risky... And you have to enter at your own risk...

I've been getting that as well when I click on the TOTV link in my email but if I go directly to my browser and type in address I don't. That's what I'm currently doing because I'm not clicking on that page with the notice.

[BaileyMom]

Yes, both my neighbor and I started getting these messages recently. I get them on my iPhone and my laptop.

I use McAfee for internet security on both devices and for some reason, TOTV is getting flagged now.

I click my way through as I trust this site....or should I??

:icon_wink:

[fritzgb1]

I have been getting the same message and it’s something to do with this web site. I have xfinity and it’s been appearing now for about a week or so. At first I thought it was spam but it only appears on this daily email. Not sure why

I use Comcast and have received this message before. I found that when I have my VPN turned on in Norton, I get this message. When I turn off the VPN, I get in just fine without the message. The VPN also blocks other sites from time-to-time.

Comcast' s attempt to push their browser security software. It started to appear only for this site a few days ago. I turned it off - Google Comcast - Advanced Security, Off.:coolsmiley:

[Heytubes]

I got it a couple times last week and I use Comcast. Doesn’t happen now though.

[Wrhobson]

That is a new "feature" Comcast has enabled inside your router/modem. It only apparently applies to certain of the modem/routers they deploy and is manufacturer-dependent. I learned the mystery of this after a lot of research. It is annoying, but benign and can be disabled if you feel your security protection is already adequate.
There is apparently some difference between the Xfinity designation and the "xFI" description and/or app but if you log onto your Comcast account and click enough choices you'll eventually bump into one titled "Connect" and that is where you can disable "Advanced Security"

[Petersweeney]

Zuckerberg has something to do with it

[CJH929]

Disable ‘Advanced Security’ on your Comcast or Xfinity app.
I had the same problem and it disappeared when I disabled Advanced Security.
It has something to do with the TOTV certificate. Supposedly it doesn’t meet the new higher standards imposed by Comcast/Xfinity. Not a big deal IMHO.

[ffresh]

Maybe try this link instead?

https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/

For those who didn't know:

Notice that your link above is a "secure" url, denoted by the S at the end of https. The other link as listed by the OP is not a secure url. This is not necessarily a problem if you're not on a page/site that is asking for personal info such as for a credit card purchase or banking, etc.. But it could be nefarious in some cases. You should never enter sensitive info on a page where you don't see the padlock symbol followed by https://, in the address bar of your browser.

Just started getting this notice about a week ago when I click on the daily e-mail from TOTV. Don't get it when I type in the same URL as the e-mail link. Not sure why this is happening but I'm sure it's scaring people off the site.

[Almanurse1]

I use xfinity on an iPad. I have been getting this notice every day. I just click on where it says and I get into the forum with no problem.

Same here. Xfinity internet only. Newer iPad with latest iOS. Same message for the first daily access attempt, then no more the rest of the day. Problem is there’s no way to override the message. You have to click on the accept option or it just hangs there. Can’t go forward OR backward. Very frustrating.

I believe your message is caused by a redirect URL link in the [daily] TOTV email link where the publisher is tracking the source (you) via your TOTV email message to the main TOTV website. Notice the page link in the email and the page URL where you read the TOTV thread. They are different. Many website publishers do this redirect tracking for mainly marketing purposes. Your risk message is likely being generated by either your device or Internet provider.

I get a similar message occasionally related to the daily TOTV email and don’t worry about it. When I do, I hit the refresh icon in my browser’s URL window and it takes me to the TOTV webpage I want.

[Luggage]

At least with Windows it typically means : a) your internal clock may need to be reset
B) site may not have latest security certificate
C) cookies may not be saved or old
Good luck .

Thank you for this answer makes sense. I have xfinity for my internet and only get the message if connected to Wi-Fi.

I sometimes get this message also. This is what I have found on someone's blog site:

Safebrowse.io is a legit policing service used by Xfinity (my internet provider).
It was flagging my blog for no apparent reason.
My blog was not flagged on any other internet provider or cellular service that I could see. Non-Xfinity users and anyone using cellular data could access it just fine.
Not all Xfinity wifi users were getting the same screen, but everyone who got the screen was an Xfinity user.
If we turned off the Advanced Security Filter on our router, voila, the problem was solved. If we turned it back on, the flag appeared again.
The problem seemed to be with the Xfinity advanced security algorithm or blacklist.

I lso have Xfinity and I am guessing they made some change in the last few weeks that caused this to start happening.

Yes, I started getting this recently. In checking it out, I found that it is a new security feature added to Xfinity. You can go to your Xfinity account or Comcast account settings and turn it off. My existing security is sufficient to block questionable sites, so I will continue to use that safeguard.

[CoachKandSportsguy]

Please don't click on the link!

Well, i guess I flunked my google malware certificate!

Malwarebytes did just discover a trojan on my laptop in the last week, and I have no idea from where it came, so all security warnings should be heeded. .

and if you are being tracked for marketing purposes, do you really want that?

[OhioBuckeye]

Emails are like Scam phone calls. If you answer or hang up on them, they know your phone didn’t ring enough times so they know there’s a live person that was on other end. Emails , same thing if you answer an email, even if you say take me off of your mailing list. They know there’s a live person making a comment. So they’ll either hen peck you to death or sell your email address to someone else. Let phone ring until it stops, then go to “Remove Caller” & delete. Also don’t open emails just delete them. They’ll quit!

[Carla B]

I have Xfinity. Are you all talking about the daily email "digest" TOTV sends via Email? I don't subscribe to it and I don't get those "warning" emails.

[Laker14]

If you dont live in the Villages then why are you trying to access the site?

I can't answer for the OP, but I can tell you that I joined TOTV in 2008, when friends of mine bought a place here and introduced me to the idea of someday owning a place here.
I did not buy a place in TV until 13 years later.
I learned a lot about TV on this site. Some useful stuff, some not so useful stuff.

I don't think it's terribly unusual for someone who doesn't live here to access TOTV. In fact there is one thread titled "Thinking of moving to The Villages? Read this first." That sounds a lot like an invitation to access the site, for someone who does not live in TV, does it not?
