Right on Kevin -
Thanks for staying on top of this. I checked all my browsers, I have about 10
on both my Mac and PCs and got no errors. Let me know if you need beta testing
done, as I have done a lot of web development beta testing over the years.
Cheers!

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Problems reaching the RB website <sigh>
I got several personal emails about not being able to reach the Repeater
Builder site this morning. Google has reported the site has been hacked
and most browsers redirect you to a big warning page. I scanned the
supposed infected pages, http://repeater-builder.com and
http://www.repeater-builder.com with AVG link scanner
http://www.avg.com.au/resources/web-page-scanner/. I also looked at the
.htaccess file and other content to make sure there isn't anything going
on. I found NOTHING that resembled malware or suspicious links,
forwarders, scripts, etc. I have submitted for re-evaluation on both
Google and another independent evaluator - stopbadware.org. If you look
at the help sites, this BS generates a LOT of business for companies
that scan sites for money.
We shall see what the re-evaluations say. Realize I changed NOTHING on
the website, and I believe it has been clean all along.
If the site proved to be clean on these subsequent scans, I can only
assume there is collusion between Google and businesses that scan
websites for money. I have no proof of this - it's just an observation.
