Hi
I am pretty clueless when it comes to internet stuff. I USE it, but have no real knowledge about it.
I wanted to get onto the Topaz website and my browser (Firefox) warned me that I shouldn't open the page. I had the option of "more info" (or something similar), and this is what it said:
Safe Browsing
Diagnostic page for topazlabs.com
What is the current listing status for topazlabs.com?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

Return to the previous page.
If you are the owner of this website, you can request a review of your site using Google Webmaster Tools. More information about the review process is available in Google's Webmaster Help Centre.

Can someone explain, very briefly, what this means, and is it still OK for me to "ignore warning" and go to the website anyway (that is an option given)? i.e is this just an overcautious warning. Has anybody else had this, a similar or in fact any problem with the Topaz website?
Thanks for your help |
