I'm not sure why that Chrome warning has come up for a few people within the last week. It seems to be very intermittent and it doesn't seem to show for everyone (I, for example, cannot seem to reproduce it no matter what I try). The only common thread is that each person who has encountered this message has told me of a different linked site (when they click the 'safe browsing' link for more information). All sites they've mentioned, however, end in the the characters ".ru" (which refers to Russia). I haven't been able to find anything on MS that points to .ru so I'm a little bewildered.

I had my webhost run a malware scan and here is their response:
Our malware scanner did not find anything in your public_html directory. I've also tried to search other blacklists with your domain and similar domains (mousescapers.com) for example. If you can find out a URL that is reporting an issue, we can look into it further, but so far there is no sign of anything wrong.
To see MouseScrappers 'health check', so to speak, on Google's site please see http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagn...escrappers.com

I'm still keeping an eye on things, but I want to assure you that MS is not hosting any malware (as you can see from the above Google link). If anyone encounters this message, it would be helpful if you try the various parts of the website (store, forums, blog, gallery) and clear your cache in between each part - then let me know if you see the error for each part or just one (I need help isolating where people see this error). Feel free to PM me the details or click the 'Send Message' link on our Facebook page.

Thanks!
