it would appear the problem is with google blocking it, it talks about other sites that are hosted on the same server by the looks of it.

I've not used Google so I don't think it's anything to do with that.

The reason why I say google is because when I click on the button why is this site blocked I get a site advisory page from google.

What is the current listing status for iva.co.uk?

Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this website may harm your computer.

What happened when Google visited this site?

Of the 14 pages that we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time that Google visited this site was on 2010-04-03, and suspicious content was never found on this site within the past 90 days.

This site was hosted on 1 network(s) including AS24851 (UK).

Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?

Over the past 90 days, iva.co.uk did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.

Has this site hosted malware?

No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

How did this happen?

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

Next steps:

* 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.

As far as I'm aware, everything seems to be ok now.

I know admin were working on it.

Yep its still present! funny how it shows a windows computer screen on my mac, your computer is in danger lol!!

It automatically diverts to a download screen, its odd how just this site has been attacked i use other forums which have some more details than this.

Lets hope it gets sorted soon.

I had all the warning messages too so I exited the site straight away and then did a full scan using my McAffee. The scan reported nothing, so does this mean my laptop is not infected??? The McAffee site did say that a `fake spyware` warning was in circulation as a trojan
