Phandroid is working on today's malware notice issues. They are totally aware of what's going on and are busily trying to fix it completely.
There may be some minor glitches as the deveolpers sort through things

Thanks for your patience!!! :D
 
Someone was able to inject an iframe via a sidebar widget on phandroid. They used this iframe to link to a site which contains malware.

Because of the footer and some other linked pages, sites other than phandroid in the neverstill universe were affected with the WARNING not the actual link to malware.

To my best estimate everything should come back to normal shortly and google should remove the warning, otherwise sleep may not be in my future.

Anyone else have this issue?
 
This is very peculiar....I am using Google Chrome now as my base browser (well for the time being, I like Firefox still, but just experimenting.)

I got the following as a message....

A small heads up, Safari has been flagging parts of this site today as potentially harmful to computers. This was when googling phone related stuff & directed here. IIRC moto droid sub forum was one, I think there was one or two others.

Ofcourse there was no such warning coming into here or main forum. But I see certain other forums are under severe attack from spam. Just so you know.
