403 Error Message on a website?
I tried to access a website, and I received a 403 Error Message.
It said:
"Error 403
We're sorry, but we could not fulfill your request for / on this server.
You do not have permission to access this server. Before trying again, run anti-virus and anti-spyware software and remove any viruses and spyware from your computer."
It gives me the option to fix it myself, and then that link took me to this message:
"Your request was intercepted by Bad Behavior, security software which protects the Web site you visited from malicious activity, such as hackers, spam and viruses. We apologize for the inconvenience, but your request matched a profile of suspicious activity. This problem is usually quite easy to fix.
Your computer's IP address was determined to have recently sent spam or engaged in malicious activity as reported by the Project Honey Pot monitoring service. This means your computer is most likely infected with viruses or other malicious software. See below for more information.
This problem may be caused by viruses or spyware on your computer, or by malicious software that pretends to be anti-virus or anti-spyware software. Ensure that you have REAL anti-virus and anti-spyware software on your computer, that they are kept up-to-date, and that you have run a full system scan using each tool. Once your system is cleaned of viruses and spyware, please try your request again.
The free Microsoft Security Essentials provides reasonable protection against a wide variety of malicious software.
If the above suggestions fail to resolve the problem, click Back and contact the e-mail address you were given for further assistance."
Then the contact email address was invalid!
The website is a valid teen site, nothing shady, and I haven't participated in any malicious activity that I know of!
Please help, I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on a Macbook, using Firefox.
Thanks,
