1642 = 4:42 pm

I'm getting it as well at 1630 CST.

See the thing that was great about websites in the 80's and 90's is that they just worked. You loaded them up and that was it. Nowadays they get launched with all kinds of bugs and people are like 'Don't worry, we'll just issue a patch".
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Just came across this in Firefox myself.. I ignored it, as I trust the website and I scan my system on an OCD-like basis..

5:49 EST here as of this writing..

There was apparently some errant code causing an bad flag. This was just corrected at 1749 EST.

If you have issues please report them here with the wording of the issue, your browser, what forum you were trying to look at (or the mainpage), and the time.

Thank you.

Error I posted screenshot of earlier still exists in Firefox 3.6.24 on main page AND on forums.

Norton did not come up with a warning this time, however.

Accessed main site and posted this on IE 8, no problems.

I clicked on "This isn't an attack site" and according to http://www.stopbadware.org/home/reviewinfo it says after you cleaned up the code and scanned it with tool at https://badwarebusters.org/main/itemview/23594 then to go here next https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ and have Google look at it again so that doesn't come up on FF anymore.

For now, I'll just uncheck the attack site box and try to be careful :lol:

I'm still getting a Malware warning from Google Chrome and now on every page. Unlike before though it doesn't state the web addy like I mentioned in the first post.

AVG isn't giving me any warning though..
