Getting a malware warning from google too this morning (Wed) in the UK. (I understand that it is normally due to google spotting posts of example code where developers have had sites hacked).

Screenshot attached.

Thanks for the warning, guys.
The issue was removed last night! Now waiting for Google to check it again...

I don't know any other "legal" site that gets as many warning as CMS Made Simple's official site/forum. This doesn't look nice, 'cause clients and competitors hear about these kind of problems...

Are you using the same CMS Made Simple and forum-module as we are - and can we expect same king of warning messages in the future?

So what's going on?

We had server issues. As far as we know these are NOT related to our CMSMS or Forum software! Certainly in the case of CMSMS issues we had taken action with new releases and notify our users!! But that is not the case.

Beside that Google recognized an old thread similar as this one mentioning malware, now as working malware http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... =2&t=51751
We removed that. We need to be more and more strict to the post contents...
If you have any kind of malware or hack issues, make an image of it and post that here. DON'T post any text! Tristan and paulbaker did a good job in this thread with these screenshots!

Now waiting for Google to re-check the site.

Thanks Bess.
The Themes website is still on the old webserver.
Will take a look. Need to move that one soon
