What. The. Fuck.

So by now, most of you are aware of the big red screen warning of malware or some such shit when you open the page to this site. So far it seems like it's only happening on PC and not mobile devices although I may be wrong, but I can open the site on my kindle without getting the warning. 
Some PC browsers display the warning, others don't.

I found out about it last night when a reader alerted me to it and I spent a good 2 hours trying to figure it out. About the only thing I found out is that it may be caused by software I installed. Only thing is, I haven't installed any software and I don't think I even have the ability to even if I wanted to.

Apparently somebody either reported me, google has a glitch in their system, or they're flagging me for conservative content.
Either of the scenarios seems likely because Peter sent me a couple links showing where Vox had the same problem about a week ago.



I did the same thing Vox did and submitted a request for a review - they reviewed his site, found nothing wrong, and removed the warning. His was done in a day or two, but the form I submitted says it may take up to a couple weeks.

I did a virus/malware scan on my laptop and it came up clean.
I open all links that I post and I haven't gotten any type of warning from my anti-virus saying that I shouldn't have done that.
I get all of my links from reputable sites and I haven't visited any unusual ones in I don't know how long, not even midget amputee porn sites.
I have made ZERO changes to my blog that may have triggered this.

I've got to take Lisa in for another doctor's appointment in a little while but when I return this afternoon, I'll continue to poke around to see if there's something I may have overlooked to fix this.
