Two possible reasons you might still be seeing the warning:

- Google/Firefox might not immediately update their databases of sites that have been compromised. It might take a few days for the errors to completely disappear.

- People visiting here might have content cached by their browsers. If so, the offending site could still be stored in your browser, and Chrome/Firefox would block based on that. If so, this too should clear out on its own in a couple of days - but one could manually clear their browser's cache and see if the error still arises.

I took a look this morning from a few different devices, and saw no errors with Chrome or Firefox. Additionally, I looked at the server directly to see if by chance we'd been nailed again - and saw no signs of it. If any of you are still encountering this Chrome/Firefox error, it would be helpful if you followed up here, and listed the site mentioned in the error message. For example, in the case of Chrome you can see the site right after "Content from..." in the error message shown above.

I haven't been on this PC since friday morning (i'm back at work, an appropriate time for foruming) and trying to visit c-brats yielded a request to sign in (unusual since I had not cleared my cache) and that's the only time I saw the malware notice. I'll log out and log back in right now and see if it does it again.


edit: can't get it to replicate...

Can someone please tell me the best way of getting rid of it.

I use chrome. Yesterday it was a web site with "google" in the name. I did not write it down so I don't know the full name. For the last few hours today chrome said this site had been infected by www.openxadvertising.org.

I too use Chrome and had flushed all browser caches / cookies and yesterday got the exact same error that Rob reports above.

Apple computers are not subject to getting any Windows 'virus'. The virius' that can infect Windows have zero effect on a Mac OS. Macs can get 'malware' but you would have been prompted to enter your administrator or system password. If you did not do that, you most likely DO NOT have malware installed.
