m8 i had similar problems 2days back when forum got hit. download malware antibytes-install-update program- then run windows in safe mode and scan with malware antibytes and then restart in windows normally, then scan with your usual antivirus to make sure infection has been removed

There was a serious hack attack on the 10th, which caused the original warning - was mostly cleared up the following day, but it's only now I'm fairly confident the problem's been nuked.

However, will take a while for some programs to update - ironic, really, as Techwatch was blocked on Google for only a couple of hours, but some programs are still displaying the same warning that Google posted and then removed.

A few more threads on the issue on this board:

As before, I think we're clear now, but I'm watching the situation very carefully.

Interesting to see that electronicarts.co.uk is also listed as affected by the same attack:
