Good Day All,
I just did a Google search on Ubuntu Tweak and Google listed the web site as being harmful to you computer. They state that its an Attack Site that will infect your computer with worms and viruses. I left a message on the site but have had no response. Has anyone had any problems with the Ubuntu Tweak web site? If so let us know.
Thanks,
Eddie

It probably means the site is (or was) vulnerable to some kind of attack/hacking that placed something malicous on the site, probably through wordpress. This can be a real pain for sites, as they loose lots traffic (it takes Google a while to update their database even when any threats have been removed).

I just saw that too.
I wanna know what its all about.
It doesn't change the fact that I still like it and I'm about to install it on my new laptop anyway.
