It seems you are not the only one.
I just saw on FB that others have been getting security warning too.
I have had no trouble today.
ok bert just posted on FB. I'll copy it here.
"
Ok....
Linson.us, an old domain I had was hacked and since the image was linked to this domain Google flagged xlforum.net.
Linson.us has not been in use for almost a year and was hosted on powweb.com which is a COMPLETELY different server than xlforum.net. It appears the .htaccess file on linson.us was hacked to redirect to a russian malware website.
...
At no time was there or is there now malware on the xlforum server.
It will take a day or two for xlforum.net to come off of the blacklist."
those are his words.

Maybe I will stay off the site until the warning goes away.
