Major hacker compromise... file damage etc etc etc... someone must have decided to report it as well.

Marc's working hard to restore the site but no ETA at the moment.

Bummer, but thanks, Vince. IMHO this site and that one are 2 of the most useful & informative, sans B.S. & flaming, etc.

Well hey here is the answer to my question that I posted...

What do you mean by "someone reported it" as well?

Gotta tell ya.
I have very little virus protection, if any.

I've been to the GTD forum, then used malewarebytes to check for viruses/trojens and it found none.

My computer did go down with the "rouge security tool" about a month ago. Not sure where I got that.

I use chrome whenever I can. Some scrips or pages won't load properly, then I'm forced to go IE :evil:

It's been up for a week-ish... still listed as an attack site however, and Google is taking their sweet time de-listing.

Access is fine thru IE, or other browsers if you turn off attack site blocking.

That's weird, the link from my favorites doesn't work anymore and when I manually typed it in norton thought it blocked a threat and had me all worried. Thanks I'll try again.

Google de-listed it tonight, but evidently Norton Internet Security still has it flagged.... dunno if Marc can get that fixed or not.
