DailyPaul is working on it with their ad provider. It's not only DailyPaul that is impacted.

[mosquitobite]

yeah, my virus software says DP has malware.

[twomp]

Shall we "Bing" things now? I feel like a Microsoft salesman, yuck...

"Dont be google"

[ronpaulfollower999]

Don't use Google. Use Safari.

After much investigation, it appears that this is a false alarm. Google is listing some standard ad server code - which has been on the site for over a year - as suspicious. We may also be the subject of a dirty tricks attack, as the 'suspicious' page Google is flagging is this one: Why I am Endorsing Mitt Romney for President and Not Ron Paul.

Thank you everyone for your patience. We're working on getting this straightened out as soon as we can.

UPDATE: I've made contact with the ad service provider that is supplying the code that Google is flagging as malicious. They are aware of the problem and are working with Google to solve it. The Daily Paul is not the only site that is being subject to this treatment. Hopefully this will get sorted out soon.

That sh!t cray

Michael Nystrom's comments in the comment section is what people should be noticing. It is possible the old script was flagged as dirty tricks by someone who didn't like the high circulation that particular page of dailypaul was getting on twitter, or it is conceivable it was an error flagging old google script, per Michael's comments.

I'm going to move this to general politics with a director for those coming here.

I get the problem using Firefox and Chrome. Not with internet explorer. Looks like Google and Mozilla have teamed up to "fight malware".

Suspiciously the malware alert seems keyed to a DailyPaul blog post attacking Mitt Romney.

You can get past the malware warning page if you click "ignore this".

Now, now ... Google is one of Ron Paul's top 5 contributing organizations.

"The top five organizations contributing to Paul's campaign (meaning their employees contributed and/or their PACs did) were the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, Google and the Department of Defense."

So there is no real malware threat?

Just click "Proceed Anyway" and you can access the site,

Are you talking about other RP sites, or just other sites in general?
