Interesting, for a start, it mentions ozmugs.com, and that site generates a warning...

What web browser are you using, and for that matter, puter as well.

The link you posted worked for me.

Just because it is your site doesn't mean there is nothing wrong with what is there on the host side, or for that matter, anything that has been put there without your knowledge due to less than platinum security.

There is something wrong with that site. Malware has been installed there in some fashion. it might be worth a call to your host provider to get it looked into.

It only comes up for me on chrome when I click on the "Honda F6B - Do it's owners belong on here" email link
it's fine when I got directly to the OZSTOC website

I don't know why it's redirecting to Kev's site?

The problem seems to be that Google at some stage found something it didnt like, so it adds a content warning when you try to access the site.

It has to do with the google analytics (you can see this in the acitivity lime at the bottom of the browser {at least in Firefox you can})  This doesnt mean that there is anything wrong with the site, just that google doesnt like it.

Why you are seeing the warning when not going to Ozmugs I dont know

Try dowloading firefox and use that instead of chrome

I don't getting any warnings on Chrome either way, the same as IE11........

Though I do see the funny side of this......Topic "Honda F6B" - "Oz Mug"  = Stupid Australian

I have already had it checked, and all is good....Google is reporting a false positive

Yeah Kev, I wouldn't worry about it, Google did the same thing to another site, I frequent a while ago
