Thankfully, hubby stepped in and sorted it all out. I am now malware warning free.

What happened is there is a 3rd party utility from blogutils . net that is used on many Blogger sites and blogutils . net got hacked and the utilty started returning malicious code. Just about every Blogger site using that utility got flagged. blogutils . net has cleaned up the hack and the utility is no longer returning malicious code, but any Blogger site which got flagged by Google will continue to show the warning until a malware review is done by Google and the site is cleared."Jillybejoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010866113928621691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222007135907343863.post-58220403168093094642011-10-04T09:50:47.224-07:002011-10-04T09:50:47.224-07:00Thank you Martha, for finding that link....as usua...Thank you Martha, for finding that link....as usual, it will probably take the Google PTB forever to respond, but at least a few folks are giving their opinions.

I'm getting the same message when I try to access my blog, but only when using Google Chrome. IE and Mozilla seem to work fine.<br />The malware seems to come from the hungryzombiecouture, and it looks like it spreads. I unsubscribed from it, but it didn't help. Ironically, Google offers a certain set of tools that are supposed to detect the source of problem on my blog, but they haven't found anything suspicious on my blog. In the meanwhile, I've decided to keep posting, and I hope Google will fix this problem ASAP. If not, I'll switch to wordpress.Ana Stepalicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04938418843936123660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222007135907343863.post-12666064753256131062011-10-04T03:26:41.912-07:002011-10-04T03:26:41.912-07:00As you mention that it is a Google Chrome issue, I...As you mention that it is a Google Chrome issue, I 'Googled' the issue and this is what I found: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=7b4b5fffb28c2895&hl=envtmarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04057808840273791308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222007135907343863.post-51161643011650003262011-10-03T23:55:48.885-07:002011-10-03T23:55:48.885-07:00Just another voice saying I am seeing these messag...Just another voice saying I am seeing these messages too.

Usually, there is some false iframe at the end of some ad/link of some kind that has been added to the page and that iframe contains a hidden URL of a site that distributes a virus. <br /><br />When I clicked on "more information" on Shannon's blog, it says that there has been some suspicious activity in the last 2 days. So I would wonder if she added something to her blog template in that time. A gadget, an ad, something that seems innocent, but is not.<br /><br />But I am no expert. I hope this gets sorted out.
