    Looks that way.

    I wonder if the sudden rush of offers on my domains is linked in to that somehow..!

    Including twice the price on one I already agreed to sell last night :(

    Sedo has been made aware that visitors attempting to access the Sedo.com or Sedo.co.uk websites using either the Firefox or Chrome web browsers have been receiving security alerts preventing entry. While the Sedo website is still accessible without warning on both Internet Explorer and Safari, we immediately began investigating the root cause of these warnings to ensure there was in fact no risk to our users or visitors to the site. At this time we can report that no threats have been detected and our technical teams are currently working with Google and others to ensure these false warnings are immediately removed.

    So you are 100% sure these are "false" warnings? Or is it that your IT dept just has not found the threat yet? Is it 100% safe to log on?

    OK

    Works via my 3 dongle, must be my ISP ( Virginmedia) choosing to block it.

    Thanks

    Yep, can confirm, message is gone from Google and all seems to be 100% fine both through Virgin Media and BT. The time it tok Google to remove the message from the serps was amazingly quick... Do you guys know someone there? ;-)
