i've had a couple people tell me my site is infected. one of them sent me the report from the Google Safe Browsing addon for Firefox, below.
As near as i can tell, it's either been wrongly reported by someone to a blacklist or it is keying somehow on an updatedate function in the vBulletin code and taking that as the supposed host of malicious software, updatedate.cn. Or maybe someone else on that server is infected?
Anyone else had this happen? I'm contacting my host to see if they can tell if it's compromised but since that updatedate is in the vb code I thought i'd check here to see if others are getting hosed. False positives and kneejerk blacklisting are a royal pain I deal with a lot on the email side of my biz.
Thanks much.
