Someone has reported this as an attack site to Google and I suddenly had access blocked and had to cancel attack blocking in my browser.

Anyone else had this, I'm using Firefox?

YES.. a few time over last week. I can go on to main site but when I hit forums up comes a site saying there is a problem etc and boxes appear and I cant get out of it. I shut down and restart. not happened in last 2 days though.....

I use explorer for this site. running malewarebytes now:(

edit: i opened up a new window, put pedelec in google and up came the advertising site again. Kasparsky has blocked it as it is a Feshing? site....:confused:

Can't help, I'm afraid Flecc. I normally use Safari but on seeing your post, I logged out and changed to Firefox. It logged me in with no fuss so I don't know what's going on.

Just happened to me. I trust this site so ignored it :p

I use Firefox. Like others the home page is fine just when I try and enter the forums here :confused:

Oh oh! Further to my last, as soon as I sent that last post, up came the warning you mentioned. I tried logging out and back in again but got that message again.

Changed back to Safari and it worked fine.

It'll be a dodgy url someone has in their sig or on a post. Nothing to worry about (unless you click on that url ofc :)

Happens with a lot of forums.

It needs an IT detective type to clean the offending script but I doubt very much whether anyone's computer will suffer as a result.

I have just had the same google warning. I am using Firefox. I have also experienced forum pages not downloading fully over the last two or three days. You get the top of the page only and have to refresh to get the full page.

Sounds like the forum server or software could be on the blink.

It's probably just that some dodgy adverts have been put into rotation, nothing to worry about as long as your browser and anti-malware programs are up to date. Though this site's admin will be busy with the advertisers and Google tomorrow morning.
