Tuckborough.net experiencing problems

Is it just me or are Tuckborough experiencing problems? When I click on the website I get this message

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

Really sad if the site is going to be taken down, it's probably the most detailed and accurate online portal for LOTR information. I hope they sort out their problems soon but whilst that message is showing I won't risk browsing the site.

Interestingly enough, I just clicked on the Sauron Painting Challenge Thread, only to receive this warning:

"Warning: Somethings not right here!
www.one-ring.co.uk contains content from www.tuckborough.net, a site known to distribute malware. Your computer might catch a virus if you visit this site." etc.

Didn't want to risk proceeding on my PC laptop, so I checked on my iPod, assuming that the malware was probably written for Windows and not iOS. In the thread, I didn't even see any material that looked like it came from Tuckborough.net, unless its someone's avatar. The other threads I've visited today seem to be fine.

It pops up periodically for me. You can always tell it to view the page anyway.

Perhaps the problem lies with the internet browser, I have Google Chrome and I get the message from the sauron page.
And some other pages, but I can't remember which.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Feb 17, 2012 8:56 pm

I'm not sure, I didn't think so, but I think it maght be actually.

LotrCrown · **Posted:** Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:00 pm

ive messaged alan, looks like a malware attack . . . . keep calm, dont click links etc etc and run a virus scan . . .

lorderkenbrand · **Posted:** Fri Mar 09, 2012 5:46 pm

Tuckborough is no longer listed on Google! Directly typing it into the web browser blocks me from going any further (probably the safety setting). Such a shame

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Mar 09, 2012 6:00 pm

I agree, it was a very good site. It must be lamented.
