First of all....A very warm welcome to the forum 'K'.

As regards to the warning....I think Leon's had this before.
It's probably NOT the Pendraken site that's the problem.....But another site that shares the same host.(?)
(I hope I've got that right.)

But Leon will be grateful for the heads - up.

Cheers - Phil

FWIW - I noticed that warning a month or so ago but none of my malware detection (on my PC) has had a problem nor have I ever experienced a redirection or strange popups.

Welcome to the forum - hope you'll stick around :)

What ?

You can't see 'This site may be hacked', if you go in via Giggle (sic) ? (It IS in tiny blue writing)  ;)  ;D ;D

(Should have gone to Specsavers.)  ;D ;D ;D

Welcome to the Forum and thanks for the message. 

The Google warning appeared last week and Matt's sent them all the usual info to get rid of it.  It's due to us sharing a server, so whenever a different site on that server gets hacked, everyone sharing it gets labelled a risk by Google.  We really need to move to a dedicated server of our own, but the costs for that are significantly higher.

I have no idea what you are currently paying, but do look at someone like Digital Ocean who can provide a simple virtual private server for as little as $5 a month. Whilst it would be awesome if Pendraken were getting Amazon levels of traffic a month, it suspect that is not the case, and so, a Digital Ocean instance should be more than enough. Or if you prefer to keep your data and your business in the UK, I can highly recommend Mythic Beasts as a hosting company.

But then I'm guessing your web guy has already considered all the options.

Hi kaotikobcn and welcome to the forum.

As the others have said, the message comes up from time to time. Usually if I'm using someone else's computer and therefore using IE rather than Firefox. Never had a problem with this site despite that.

As to the forum membership, they are a friendly and knowledgeable bunch by and large.

As to the sanity displayed at time ...

Forum Member: Hey, wait, wait. What does this say here, this thing here?
Techno: Oh, that? Oh, that's the usual clause that's in every forum's Terms & Conditions. That just says, uh, it says, uh, if any of the parties participating in this contract are shown not to be in their right mind, the entire agreement is automatically nullified.
Forum Member: Well, I don't know...
Techno: It's all right. That's, that's in every forum's T&Cs. That's, that's what they call a sanity clause.
Forum Member: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! You can't fool me. This is the Pendraken Forum ... there ain't no Sanity Clause! ;-)
