What that means is that someone hacked your site and modified your .htaccess file to redirect users coming from Google to a malware-infested site. Because of that, you end up blacklisted and losing users that can’t reach your site. (well, at least 99% of the time this is the cause).

I'm trying to avoid sending it as long as possible because my replacement is older and slower.

Thanks for helping to figure out what's going on.


I also run Live WeatherBug which gets shut down by my computer from time to time.
