    Been on Firefox for ages after Chrome started playing up.

    But nothing showing here off FF.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    OK Folks... www. reachercreatures .com is a site I used to own and I used to use it for internet based storage of all my pics. I sold the site and URL to the current owner over two years ago. However, I haven't updated the links to images from runs and threads from years ago. So with all the talk of NMS being 10 years old and Stoney starting a thread asking "what was your first run", folk are viewing threads with these old pics in them and for some reason Google ain't happy with that site.

    I genuinely don't know what the problem is, but I have emailed the new owner to alert her to the malware warning. To be honest that url simply points to the main site for the author Lee Child and that site is fine, so I really can't see why/how reachercreatures is causing a problem.

    You have the option to proceed. And I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be safe to proceed but I genuinely don't know (somehow) if reachercreatures. com has become infected maliciously.

    More as I know it.

    For those still having this problem.

    I have confirmation from the owner of Reachercreatures .com that this is a historical problem Google had with the parent site; www .leechild .com The owner of both sites have requested Google amend their records as there IS NO ISSUE whatsoever with their sites.

    I'm not going to say "it's all safe" because I don't own www. reachercreature .com so can't vouch for it's safety. But all things seem to point to the fact this is an old problem and should not still be showing as an issue with Google.
