This is new to me, but I'm honestly just ignoring the warnings I'm getting. I mean really! Batoto being a dangerous site! The very thought makes me giggle a little.

Google may be slow, but they are really slow.

Last night the following link: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://vatoto.com/read/_/155224/tada&output=embed

Showed the SAME results that are in the OP. Zero infections.... right now tells a very different story.

Safe Browsing

Diagnostic page for www.batoto.net/read/_

What is the current listing status for www.batoto.net/read/_?


This site is not currently listed as suspicious.
Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 1 time(s) over the past 90 days.

What happened when Google visited this site?

Of the 667 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 206 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2013-02-04, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2013-02-04.
Malicious software is hosted on 1 domain(s), including ads.zitaholdings.com/.
2 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site, including pixfuture.net/, openx.net/.
This site was hosted on 2 network(s) including AS53340 (VEGASNAP), AS15169 (Google Internet Backbone).

Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?


Over the past 90 days, www.batoto.net/read/_ appeared to function as an intermediary for the infection of 1 site(s) including batoto.com/.

Has this site hosted malware?


No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

This influence has spread to the zVelo web filter's malware category. So at this time users protected by every major content filter on the planet, can no longer view Batoto. Sonicwall, Blue Coat, Web Sense, etc. If any of you were trying to get your manga fix in while at school, you can forget it now. At least until it's sorted.

Just to bring a bit of closure

About 24 hours ago, the issue was an ad network that showed malware. The ads are actually pre-scanned by the ad network for virus twice via google scan + their own before being showed to you but the malware somehow leaked through as no system is perfect. Google detected the existence of malware showing through the ads on the reader page and subsequently blocked our reader page (why instead of just the ad? I don't know. One of biggest mysteries to me).

It seems the bad ad actually was affecting a very wide range of websites from big to small including reddit (not my screenshot), deviantart (not my screenshot), skyrim nexus network (This one actually has a lot of explanation), etc due to a wide range of ad networks being infected with this particular malware.

So, the problem to us for it being shown for so long is largely because of Google's hypersensitivity + long time for their "review" to take place (up to half a day). And as always, please always have an active anti-malware software on your computer. Even if the site is trustworthy, there can always be parts that might get hacked.

For more on where to get anti-malware (anti-virus) software, check out filehippo. There are plenty of credible and free softwares available!

Sorry for the scare! (though not really my fault. lol )


P.S. Since it was just the ad, naturally batoto is not infected.
