If you have been accessing the site from Google you will have been getting messages that the site is corrupted by malware. This is not in fact the case.
Thanks to everyone who has alerted us to this problem by E mail. It is taking us some time to sort this out because of the holiday period (which is longer in the UK than in many other countries, e.g., the United States).

‘Following my e-mail yesterday I’m sorry to say that at least two of our publishers have submitted their sites to be re-indexed after our openX upgrade and have still been flagged as having malware on their site. Whilst there is an outside chance that this is unrelated to our tags it seems unlikely.
The priority now is to make sure everyone’s sites do not display the interstitial page warning of the malware threat. There is in fact no danger of any site user contracting a virus – as we understand it OpenX have been flagged as a malware threat by Google due to a vulnerability rather than an actual identified virus – the problem of course is that the interstitial page is an effective barrier to most visitors accessing your sites.
We’re looking at the ongoing vulnerability of OpenX this morning as its not clear why upgrading our software has not helped but we shall likely be moving our entire ad serving operation onto the Google Doubleclick system which we had previously been investigating as it had been recommended to us by several sources.’
