Badware?

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on June 19th, 2009

We’re in the middle of transferring SHECKYmagazine.com from our old server to a new one. In the meantime, Google is essentially blocking the site with a “This site may harm your computer” message. Google, we suspect, is being overly cautious. Apparently, there are a lot of servers out there with so-called “badware.” (It might be part of this botnet thing we’ve been reading about over the past few months.) There are a great number of sites out there affected– some large, some small– and administrators throughout the WWW are executing plans similar to ours.

Anyway, we’ll be back up and running in no time, without any gremlins.

Check back occasionally and we’ll update our progress.

Thanks.
