    I just tried to go to usakilts.com and goggle chrome is saying it has detected Malware on the site. Anyone getting that warning?

    Interesting. I get the warning if I use Chrome but not if I use IE. I also get a warning if I access it through Google. I ran a check on the sight through IE and it didn't find anything.

    I know the anti-virus software we use at work doesn't like the site, but we use very aggressive software.

    I'm looking into it... Got the same thing this morning. haven't done anything to the site in the past 2 or 3 days, so I'm not sure where the warning came from today, but will check.

    Rocky,

    Based on what I'm reading in the Firefox warning, it's not your site directly, that Google has found to be infected. However, it appears that other sites on your ISP's network have been compromised. Specifically, here's what it says about that...

    What happened when Google visited sites hosted on this network?

    Of the 6820 site(s) we tested on this network over the past 90 days, 230 site(s), including, for example, darjeelingtimes.com/, visit-montenegro.com/, sprint2000.com/, served content that resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent.

    The last time Google tested a site on this network was on 2013-03-03, and the last time suspicious content was found was on 2013-03-02.

    My web guy found the same thing. I have him contacting our host company (not Godaddy) and seeing if we can either move to a different "area" to get us away from other infected sites. We're already on our own dedicated server... not sure what Google's problem is, but the fact remains, it's a problem since people think we're infected with Malware (which we aren't... we've run several tests).

    Oh the joys of website ownership. And just in time to muck up our St. pat's rush of orders. :insert eyeroll here:

    I just checked the site adviser reports from a couple of popular anti-virus companies. The site came up clean in both reports, but I couldn't tell when the tests were run.

    I hope Rocky manages to get the situation resolved quickly.
