    Getting Malaware/Spyware warning with Google Chrome/Firefox

    Not sure if this is the correct location for this to post, but everytime i try to come to this site with either Firefox (work computer) or google chrome (home computer) it's stop me, stating the site is dangerous for the computer.

    The firefox one states this site is a host for attacking computer/ downloading trojans to your computer. Anyone else getting this?

    It's not just you. I get a similar warning from Safari on my i-phone. My PC isn't doing it though, and I run Explorer on Windows XP.

    Yeah thats what im using to view it right now, Internet explorer on windows xp.

    My home one is Googlechrome on Win 7, but the google brower at least lets me still through to the forums. The firefox won't let me go anywhere with it.

    Safari gives an option to manually type the URL in the adress bar... It won't block if I do I that way, but if I try to access from a web search or bookmark, it blocks it due to malware detection.

    Everybody is getting the warning, the proper people have been notified and I'm certain things will be corrected soon

    We have had problems with this sort of thing before. They are taking their sweet time in removing the warning now though.

    Just so everyone knows the problem is fixed now. It was just a security issue with our software that I got fixed right away it just took Google a few days to remove the warning.

    Nobody's a zombie.
