  Why am I getting this pop-up message every time I Publicize?
  When it happens, I just click “Proceed anyway” but it does trouble me a bit…

  This is probably not the site you are looking for!
  You attempted to reach notesfromanalien.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as *.wordpress.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of notesfromanalien.com.
  You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sounds like you have rather aggressive protections on your browser. Check your firewall and security setting and whitelist WordPress.com.

  I do have live protection running but this is a rather recent problem.

  Also, WordPress is already whitelisted…

  Amzolt is right. This is a rather recent problem.

  This following warning is now being displayed when readers try to access certain posts via a search engine such as Google.

  “This is probably not the site you are looking for!

  This is a HUGE problem, and has cut my traffic by 1/3! This needs to be addressed!
