Yeah, somehow somebody inserted some nasty moneymaking javascript into some of our pages.

The problem has been fixed and we've requested Google review our site. We're going to clean everything before putting the new site online.

Two of the three people who work on skipscreen are away from their computers for the week (one at the beach, the other on vacation in central america) so this took longer than it should have to fix. Apologies to everybody for the totally scary message.

To repeat: the situation has been fixed, and we're just waiting for google to recognize this.

Also: while the warning was displaying you are totally protected as far as I can tell... Firefox is doing its job and not letting your browser load any of the bad scripts :)

We're taking this seriously and have some contractors working right now on making sure everything on skipscreen.com is clean and secure before moving it back online.

Thanks, and sorry!
The Skipper.
