Recent ‘This site may harm your computer’ notice at pubutopia.com

Hi all,

Last night Google showed the warning notice to visitors from about 23:00.

I was quickly informed of this,  and I’ve been working hard to address the issue.

I was not alone, other important (and much bigger!) websites also fell foul to the same issue.

I found the problem to be in the software that was used to serve ads (love ‘em or hate ‘em) on the website, so at around 7:30am this morning I removed all adverts and the software that was delivering them.

As this resolved the problem I then notified Google that the fix was in place, and this evening (around 21:00) they removed the warnings that were displayed to people when visiting the website.

Please note that no data on the site was compromised, and your personal details still remain private.

I do apologise for this, but rest assured, we are now up and running again.

If you have any queries about this, please raise a ticket at http://support.pubutopia.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Cheers!

Dale.
