UMBA and a large number of blacksmith sites that are connected to "blacksmithsjournal.com" give the following message when trying to visit their site. You should disconnect from that web ring.

I can't really read the warning because the resolution is too low, but this type of warning does not NECESSARILY mean a site is infected. It can also mean that the site is not registered with your virus protection provider.

It's actually a warning from Google not a virus program. Anyone running the Google Chrome Browser gets the warning not to visit the site or any site connected with blacksmithsjournal .com. as the have links to known virus sites in China. I mean if Google warns me of a site, I say we take the jump ship and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure!

I know this is and old topic, but still relevant.....Yep the, in this case, harmless site link, that has been snubbed by chrome...avg brings it up now as well. I think it's from the webring thing, plants a subtle link string at the bottom of the html end tag, on your site.....then that is tagged by google chrome and the virus software. A month or so ago I rang avg and they ran me through the where it was...and to delete it.

Blacksmith?.....snap out of it!
