    I just did it using Chrome as well, and it appears to be reporting another site that is linked as 'suspicious'.. Neither Firfox 4 or IE9 report it.

    I just ignored it as we have never had a problem on this site, but I will report it to the Admins.. Thanks.

    If anyone should see a link to "smartphone experts" website or to an ad, please report it so we can get it taken care of ASAP...according to Mike's info, it is most likely in a post from today...
