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!

I use firefox.
What happened ?
It was telling me that google hadn't visited the site for over 90days and there was no malicious activity reported for over 90days or something like that.

No accounts including mine were touched. It was most likely an automated thing that inserted code into the database behind the scenes to redirect people from here to google or other sites.

It really only affected Mac users. I never saw anything malicious because I use a PC so I had rely on some of the members to help me figure out what was happening.

It shouldn't happen again.
