    When I visit any uk.msi.com page or subpage in Chrome I'm getting the warning splash screen stating that it's a known/reported malware distributor. Anybody know anything about this? It has to be a false positive, surely.

    we had this on our corporate site.

    Basically there's likely to be a new unverified executable indexed by google (we published some new software) that triggered it.

    Selfsigned installers could be flagged as "Possibly malicious" and therfore anything related to that file will flag the site.

    @arwen - Generally nothing to worry about, but using IE as litmus test for security - laughable :p

    The only times I use IE is to download chrome.

    I'm forced to use IE at work. Going against the workplace audit, i also downloaded Firefox Portable.
    Its funny whenever the proxy dies and no one can get online, i'm still surfing the Bit-Tech forums.
