Malware/Harmfull Site Flagging
Aug 05 2010 10:00 PM | Valentine Obasuyi in News
For some reason this site has been added onto googles list of sites with malware.
I've completed several fresh installs +re-caching of all forum software to help eradicate what must have been a bad forum plugin software. I'm still running diagnostics to ensure that all harmful files have been removed however I can assure you that there has been no malious files intentionally installed on this site.
If all goes as planned, the warnings should be lifted within the next 24 hours.
Thanks for your patience.
