That's true, sometimes my google chrome also blocks the site. It says "this site appears to host malwares"

I think it's because of the ads. Any solutions

?

This is a problem we thought we solved a while back, it isn't a issue with ads, rather there was a vBSEO exploit that allowed hackers to run a script on the site that injected some iframes into the header templates of each of the styles.

Now, I've just double checked and it still remained in some styles, but most of those weren't publicly selectable.

If you (or any other user) gets it again, please note down what style you are using, and copy all the page source, View -> Page Source in Firefox, then select all, copy and paste it into notepad, save that and PM it to me as an attachment.

There is a patch released at vBseo which fixes the Iframe injection exploit. I remember 2-3 days ago Mcafee site advisor on my PC reported this website as suspicious.

It fixes the exploit but doesn't remove all the old content.

Besides this, there is often a time delay between when a problem happened and the sites are listed with the various safety tests. We got contact from Google a month after the main issue, after they rechecked without any further changes from us they removed the warnings.

As such it is very possible these are false alarms and I'm fairly sure that there is no reason to be concerned, but appreciate the reports.

Yes mate now it does not give me any warning

Google Webmasters could be an easier way to manage those alarms. Anyways, now everything seems to be fine. I am using the best skin ever, cricket style.

To be honest, the new green style is very light. Another skin which I like is the English skin. If instead of green, a red skin can be made, it will look great

.

There was always a plan for a red and blue style to go along with the green, and I've got designs for both sitting around. They probably won't ever be implemented in their previous states, but there will be a redesign eventually, which may bring those in as an option.

That said, as this sort of issue proves we have a bloat of skins, and various incompatibilities among the country styles (owing to different design timeframes). The lightness of the Green Style is partially owing to trying to differentiate it from the SA and Pakistan styles. There's always changes I'd like to make, but people as a whole don't like change.
