I tried to log on from my laptop, and had a very strange adobe flash program "automatically" install - I stopped it, but now whenever I try to load only this website I get bumped off it to google. Any ideas what's gone on? I have a Mac.

Me too. I had a problem accessing site from my Mac a few days ago. It started working again after I emptied my cache as nbp suggested. But I'm getting the same flash upload that reverts to google as well. Can only access from iPhone or iPad for now.

Hopefully Nbp has some ideas about what happened? Maybe this site got hacked somehow?

Not sure but I have someone looking at it tonight to try and eliminate whatever is going on. I'll update once it is resolved.

I had the flash thing pop up as well on my Mac. I can access the site however I can't hit the back button and have it go anywhere. I had clicked cancel in the flash thing but it hasn't shown up for me since then.

Definitely seems limited to Macs and I do not use one so I haven't seen it. I'm working on it with support.

Still working on it but wanted to let any Mac users know that this is a known issue with Mac and Adobe and you can take steps to stop it-

Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player directly from Adobe’s official website AND

Disable the "Open 'safe' files after downloading" option in Apple's Safari browser to avoid automatically running files downloaded from the Internet. This is set to Open by default with Safari and you should disable it so that does not happen to you.

Is there a way to fix it on Firefox? I don't use Safari.

Have you updated your version of Adobe Flash?

I just tried to access the site with Google Chrome, which I normally use, and I got a malware alert. I am now in Firefox and it let me proceed to the site, but I am still wondering if there is something going on.

NBP - here is what the Google Chrome browser says:

Warning: Something's Not Right Here!

Google has found malicious software may be installed onto your computer if you proceed. If you've visited this site in the past or you trust this site, it's possible that it has just recently been compromised by a hacker. You should not proceed, and perhaps try again tomorrow or go somewhere else.

Yep. I was hacked. We have cleaned the site but google still has not removed me as a suspicious site. We are in the queue to be rescanned and verified by them. This is such a pain but I am on top of it and hopefully all will be resolved today.

Thanks to a new hourly monitoring service, the site has been cleared of anything malicious and google has removed the site warning.

There is still an update that will happen tonight(EST) that will only take a moment but everything should be okay at this point.

I am not sure if you will still see warnings from other browsers like firefox or safari because google is the first to update and they send info out to everyone else.

The site is now being monitored every hour for anything else that may happen in the future so that should keep anything like this from happening.

I'm so sorry for the interruption that some of you experienced. All of this happening over Thanksgiving week/weekend was just awful and my husband is about done with me from stressing over this!
