I check the forums posts every day, as well as the preview sites. (I'm hoping that February 8th, 2012 comes soon! :~)

But today, instead of the LDWForums page, I got a warning from FireFox that this site was blocked for distributing malware...

I know better, and have various security in place even if you'd been hacked, so I 'ignored' the warning and pressed through to warn you that this was happening.

I also grabbed the link to the status page that explains why you were blocked. Perhaps some unfortunate advertiser? No idea.

Here is why Google/Firefox claimed you were blocked.

And when I tried to tell them this wasn't an attack site, they felt they knew better and redirected me here.

We did discover a problem very early yesterday, and we promptly took action to correct it (although it might take some time for the warnings to go away for everyone, unfortunately).

As for the new Virtual Families game and the date you see on our Previews page, "February 8, 2012" is the date that the news item was posted there. We haven't yet determined when the game might be released, but we will make it obvious when we do announce an anticipated release date.

Excellent! I'll continue checking daily. :~)

i myself am getting this same message for the site as malware.will be checking back once in awhile. i never had probs with site before.i'm sure you guys straighten it out though.

Whew!! I just got the same message/warning and the first few times it happened it wouldn't let me "ignore" the warning. I finally got it!!!

Kind of scary!!

The warning was back again today.

I'm not sure if my override of it finally expired, or if it's just back, but again, I thought you should know.

Google's diagnostic information says that the last time malware was found was on May 22, the day of the original incident. We're still evaluating what action we are going to take, but the malware has been removed (and is still gone).

I don't know if this is part of the problem but I could not log into the Forums using Google Chrome. When I logged in using IE some of the words in posts had turned into links for ads. They were not like that a few days ago

It is rather strange to say the least!! I do hope nothing has gotten into the Forums as, although I don't post very much, I usually log in each day to see what you are all up to!

Hope everyone is okay and still happy players!!

As for the link-turned-words, I get that on one computer in Google Chrome, too. I think it may be some sort of app downloaded or thing someone's enabled in the browser's settings.

txmom I found this site helpful in removing that problem. It is called Text Enhance and is a malware add on. I followed the instructios from the following site and now all posts are clear of those 'word/links'. It was in both IE 9 and Google Chrome and named 'I Want This' - I haven't a clue how it got there!!

Oh, I forgot to add that 'I Want This' also appears in Conrol Panel>Programs and can be deleted just like any other program. I did that too.
