Malware Update

I got up early this morning so I could get the blog done and go straight to work on the U.S. Hall of Fame Program, with the hope that I could finish that soon and go back to work on the page layouts of "Table Tennis Tactics for Thinkers." The first thing I found was an email from Sucuri Securities that the site was now not only malware free, but was no longer blacklisted by Google. Yippee!!! Life was good again. I could go back to focusing on table tennis rather than various painful deaths for malware developers. 

So I clicked on the link I have that says "New blog entry," and immediately received a malware warning. (This was in Chrome.) After some checking, I found the malware warnings are erratic. On the main links to the left only "Chat room" gets a malware warning. (And I've never even used the chat room - I'll probably remove it soon.) When I do a search of the site (see field on top left) I get a malware warning. And of course if I try to do a new blog entry (like this one), I get a malware warning. I also can't seem to call the blog up at all in Explorer. (If you are reading this in Explorer, could you let me know?)

But there's apparently no malware, just the warnings from Google due to the blacklisting that seemingly won't go away. And yesterday there were a lot fewer reads than usual - obviously a lot of people are getting these false malware warnings. 

So I'm going to skip the blog today, and discuss the situation with Sucuri Securities.
