Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that there is a security warning when you try and visit the CubeCartForums?

Hi, we have checked over the site and the server running the banner ads, and found no issues. We can only surmise that a googlebot came across a spammers post before it was removed and concluded that the whole site was a risk. Absolutely mad.

This is entirely your choice to do.... but you can disable the blocking in Firefox by selecting 'Tools > Options > Security tab'. Untick 'Block reported attack sites'. There may be similar options in other browsers to disable the autoblocking feature. Chrome is also affected as it uses the same blocking services.

We are doing everything we can to resolve this as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Rob.

How did this happen?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

Yes, everyone will receive that message. I would like to re-iterate that this is a false positive... which means Google thinks it is a harmful site but it is not. The odds are that their googlebot found a spammers post before we manage to delete it, and blocked the whole site as a result. A very damaging thing to do for those affected.

Did you request a review? (http://www.stopbadware.org/home/reviewinfo?hl=en-US&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcubecartforums.org%2F) I remember something like this happened to one my sites when i found some suspicious code in a couple of pages. I removed that code, changed the ftp password and requested a reinstatement. I was fine the next day.

You're assuming there is something to find. There isn't, as far as we can see, the sites are clean.
