Mine has been fine since pulling up through Google as I said before. Maybe some DNS stuff for the scripts changed when things were beefed up and people's machines are remembering the old DNS pointers and that's being a problem. As I said, since I googled for Racket and went there that way it's been fine for me.

Or maybe flush your DNS caches or something.

Well I just flushed my DNS, as per Hobie's suggestions, and as far as I can tell everything is OK right now. I scanned with Spybot, AVG and Malwarebytes before. Didn't find anything, save for tracking cookies. I scanned with Spybot again, no malware. I'm scanning again with Malwarebytes, and will with AVG again after it's finished.

I got the error yesterday, i'm glad it has been resolved. Doing ads through a third party can be risky as you don't know what kind of sketchy ads they are approving.

I swear I got tagged by a Java exploit from an ad on the irc chat page. Had to format my machine twice to get it out as it was in the mbr.

I say racketboy has to sketchy ads? :?

AVG just popped up a message saying it blocked an Exploit Blackhole Exploit Kit from racketboy.com/wp-content/themes/racketboy/images/header.jpg

It's back, on the main page. My flashblocker shows that some flash related thing is trying to run on the front page too.
