I have not been able to access digital spy since about last Wednesday. Everytime I go to the site I get the following message:
"Internet explorer has encountered an error and will close, please send an error report” etc etc.
Also, I have tried to access it via google, It says this site may harm my computer next to the link to the site?? Any ideas? Why was it fine before last tuesday, and now its not?
Here's a direct link to the forums that should work.
Digitalspy are aware of the Google Malware error... it seems it may have been due to certain people that run a site who have something against DigitalSpy.

Hi,
Some links from Google (such as URLs to the Digital Spy forums) are being incorrectly classified as containing Malware and as such, warnings are being issued by Google saying the forums 'may harm your computer'.
This is incorrect and we are working with both Google and StopBadware to remove this incorrect classification - we expect it to be resolved shortly.
There is no Malware on the Digital Spy Forums.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact Digital Spy Forum Support.
Possibly still upset at the pro-Sky bias after the Virgin Media kerfuffle.
Access to the forums is fine but access to the main site is impossible. If this is nout to do with malware but the computers at my local library I KNOW it'll NEVER BE FIXED! Hope it is maleware.
Could be down to the sudden closure of ABC1 - server overload - same thing happens during Big Brother sometimes.
(One thing I've noticed, via Google, is that all Digital Spy's servers seem to be named after characters from the Magic Roundabout... I've spotted "Ermintrude" and one or two more... I think MediaUK did the same thing).
I've seen an alarming number of sites across the net lately infected by spyware downloaders - usually installed without the owner's knowledge or permission.
Have DS actually
thoroughly checked
their code -not just the code they've put out on the server, but what's being sent to the world, in case the malicious code gets glued in as part of the Apache serve process or a third party plugin?
