Googling for 'Downsizer' reports that this site may be hacked. I have a screenshot if anyone wants it. Can someone advise please?

google still thinks we have a problem. my antivirus,anti malware anti spyware blockers and filters all seem happy for me to be here so it is either very sneaky or google is wrong i suspect the latter (but the former is a bit of a worry)either way it will put folk off saying hello

Hello, I haven't dared access the site for ages because of the hack notice. Seems to have gone now. Phew - I missed it here!
