I sent another request to Google this morning, but they must field hundreds - thousands - of such requests. At least I'm in the queue. Have a safe trip, BTW. MW: Thanks.

It got cleared up in less than a week. And that was a purely commercial site on which Golite depends for its survival (they don't have a lot of retail penetration at bricks and mortar stores). What boils me is the concept that merely landing on a website can actually infect my computer, without any necessity for me being so stupid as to click on a "do you want to download this stupid virus program" box. Well, if website traffic is down 80% here, you can console yourself with the fact that usually you must be getting the upper-crust of web browser traffic - Google Chrome, Firefox, etc. - he smart users - because I'm pretty sure IE6, which most of the world STILL uses, would just let people merrily click into the website, and IE& & IE8 aren't much better. In other words, you aren't getting that many Microsofties. It saddens me that a quality blog, with real smart articles and reviews, has to deal with this sh*t, while a pseudo-intellectual blog (I won't name names, but "zen" is part of its name) has tons more traffic and no hackers. Oh well, no good deed goes unpunished. The NY Post prospers, the NY Times wobbles.

Google needs to take another look at it and then clear their warnings. I've requested that they do this. It could take a couple of days, it could take weeks. In the meantime traffic is down 80%. If you see a hacker crossing the street, run over him. The site is clean. Google needs to take another look at it and then clear their warnings. I’ve requested that they do this.
