I heard about this happening to another site as of late. Basically the site was found to have a vulnerability which could result in it unintentionally hosting malware. It was related to a SQL attack. Google has begun scanning sites it links to for those sorts of vulnerabilities which might harm a browsing computer to help isolate them. When wizkids fixes the vulnerability, everything will be back to normal, no worries.

Google does, and it's for the reasons that they quoted. wink.gif Whether they're right or not, I don't know.

I don't believe anyone currently at WizKids is reading Dumpshock on even an irregular basis. You should send an email to consumerexperience@wizkidsgames.com
