I keep getting malware hits, from that site, originating here. What gives?

Do you have more than one tab open when surfing Radio Reference (RR)? Or is something popping up when you have the RR page open?
Radio Reference has never caused me any problems with malware, etc. I'm using Firefox, which will block access to unsafe sites. Radio Reference is not an unsafe site.
Firefox with blocks enabled and Malwarebytes running here, no issues connected with RadioReference observed.
Ditch Windows for Linux if you're plagued with Malware. I made the switch 20+ years ago

I just got that warning from Malwarebytes when I clicked on RR's "New Posts" tab. Getting it both on Chrome and Firefox:
It is GBPPR.NET
No other tabs open and no other apps/programs running.

And that's why I run Adblock Plus on my browsers.
Same here. Highly recommended.

it says it is a site for and filled with hackers....so why go there ?
The post referencing the site is Using DSD-FME to Decode Encrypted DMR Samples
Hacking doesn't have to be a bad thing. They've got quite a collection of reference material related to scanning.

Win10x64Pro, Malwarebytes giving me the hits. AVG to prevent getting "social diseases." Software firewall.
I'd go *nix, but I've got too much legacy software that runs under Windoze, that doesn't play nice under *nix/emulators. (I have to have a 16-bit and 32-bit VM just to run half of the legacy stuff I need to run!)
I do tend to have a number of tabs open - usually four or five just on RR. It's my ADD - I'm not hyperactive (my wife got that variant,) but I tend to hyperfocus - which, oddly, I cannot do unless I have five or six things doing at once. I'm a walking contradiction, switching doctors is a pain because I have to train them all over again (titrating my thyroid med can't be done with TSH only - have to check T3 and FT4 to get an accurate picture. For me, TSH is meaningless. My thyroid mostly shut down when I broke my neck. That's just one example. Another headache is getting them on board with "Start with the PDR maximum dosage, and we can titrate upwards from there." Even with my kidneys on the fritz, they're still aggressively filtering my blood. Just a couple of my quirks. Freaks out my optometrist when I come in with my eyes green one appointment, brown the next. . .)
I've had RR open for a bit with no more hits, so I'll monitor for errors, and post if any more come up. It's 1830 now, so if I don't get any by midnight, I'll figure they've stopped (or I've hit something that made them go away. . .)
It could be - but why would that give me hits?

Most people have multiple tabs open in their browsers whenever they're on the web, so I doubt that's the reason.
You probably ventured onto gbppr.net somehow, which triggered the message.
As mentioned in post #15, this thread from 12/2025, has the link in it:
forums.radioreference.com
I got the same message when I went to the website. I can assure you that it has nothing to do with or was not caused by radioreference.com
This is why you would have received the message:
Here's what the message means:
It's not uncommon to find expired SSL certificates on hobbyist websites. It's basically whether you can comfortably trust the website and the information and links on it or not.
You probably transposed the letters "p" and "b". I do it all the time, especially with numbers.

You're probably right about the transposition, I was working from memory after getting the window out of my way, and that doesn't always work (I wish people would stop hittin' me on my head. . .)Most people have multiple tabs open in their browsers whenever they're on the web, so I doubt that's the reason.

I don't go to the site - I'm just here in the fori on RR, and I'd get a hit about gbppr right out of the air, for no reason I can discern. It's not like I'm clicking a link for the site or anything like that, and I didn't even know what the site was.
It just confused me, because I was getting the hits for no reason I could discern, and they were starting to get annoying. . .

Virustotal says it’s clean. In addition to being clean it also turns out it’s full of useful information.
Their SSL certificate is however not valid so you’ll get warnings about that in most browsers.
