Not sure if it's happening to anyone else, but when I just tried to get on here firefox flashed up big red warnings telling me not to even think about going on arbtalk.co.uk as it was trying to install malware onto my computer?

 

Don't know why this is, is it just me or anyone else getting it :confused1:

It should be nothing to worry about. We found some malicious scripts about 2 weeks ago that were removed. Google just emailed me to tell me the sites been blocked due to these files so the sites either been hacked again or they are just late reacting to their initial findings...im thinking its the latter as we have implented a lot of new security measures. Just waiting for the server scan to complete before requesting google remove the block.

Steve, according to the block info, Google last checked the page today and found suspicious content! Here's a copy of part of the block info:

 

Of the 229 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 4 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2012-08-18, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2012-08-18.
