AVG reported attack site

Don't know what's going on but AVG keeps trying to block my access to the forum, claiming it's a reported attack site.

Edit: Actually it seems it's Firefox and Google, not AVG.

It was hacked but I deleted the offending file, so it should clear up soon.

Site still coming up as 'attack site' via google & firefox.

FWIW, I'm still seeing this too (running Firefox under Linux).

In fact, it prevents posting, so I had to disable it by unchecking the "Tell me if the site I'm visiting is a suspected attack site" option under "Preferences", "Security". I've been running that way since Zaphod first mentioned this, but I'd like to re-enable that setting at some point.

Sure hope Rob has a backup of the forum somewhere!

Use MSIE instead of Firefox until Google clears it up.

I'd just as soon leave my house unlocked with a sign out front saying open, burglars welcome.

Interesting. I just tried re-enabling the warning check and it's still giving me the warning (Firefox + Linux). I'll try again later. Thanks for the info!

Yup working fine on Firefox for me again too. Site still slow, but working without warnings.

for completeness, I had the same issues with Safari on my Mac, it too would not allow me to post anything (I tried to reply here earlier and it would not happen)
