Ahh Malware!
Just a note to say that my browser wouldn't let me visit this site today because: "this site contains elements that include the website "Vivarium Topsites" - which contains malware that may infect your computer"
... or something similar.
And a google search for "Vivarium Topsites" also comes with a warning not to visit that page (displayed in the results itself) - Concerns About Web Search Results : Results labeled 'This site may harm your computer' - Web Search Help |

And the warning comes up every time you load the first page and every now and again when browsing the site between pages... can you remove the vivtopsites element?

We've been seeing very little of Marty or the mods or any other admin here lately. In the old days someone would have fixed that before you got the error. Maybe things are sort of running themselves?   |

Sorry guys, I didn't see this post. This was fixed righty after, but unfortunately Google already picked this up and it will take a few days for this investigation to conclude. Majority of topsites on the web running our script (which btw is the latest version) were hit by a hack. For a few hrs vivariumtopsites was hacked. As soon as it happened I got notified and fixed it right there. I also requested to be scanned by google to make sure they remove the notice.
anyhow, we're good to go, but the note may show in some browsers (esp chrome) until google rescans us and certifies that there's nothing wrong with us.
