It looks like an image link in a Thread posted in 2009 has recently gone dodgy (the thread contained a number of now broken links, and one of those old links its likely to have been appropriated by someone with less than honourable intentions.
I've now cleared the links in that thread and will get the site rescanned by Google's Webmaster tools, which should reset their Mailware database.
And the lesson from this is please, host your images on a reputable site like Photobucket or Image Shack, rather than hotlinking to other sites where they can get broken, or redirected, without any notice, causing problems like this :rolleyes:
Following further investigation it seems likely that the broken links in that old thread were exploited to run bad code within one of the Tapatalk javascript files.
I've reinstalled the Tapatalk plugin files, having deleted the links in the thread Google highlighted. I have been advised by our Web Hosts that this should have resolved the problem, and so I requested a rescan by Google last night. They could take a day to do this and (hopefully) clear the warnings.
The AVG Safe Browsing browser plugin (IE, Firefox) at my ends finds the site clear of problems.
We appreciate you bearing with us as we get this resolved.
I'd also like to thank the Members who have emailed and PM'd to offer their help in getting this resolved. It is appreciated.
Can I suggest that all Members clear their browser cache / temporary internet files as this could still be caching compromised scripts (if they get Virus / Malware warnings) when as far as I can tell the site itself is now clean.
Overnight Google rescan has been done and we have had the 'Malware Warning' removed.
Happy browsing everyone.
