The dbanotes.com site was a recent victim of a published security vulnerability found in the framework our WordPress theme leverages, and as a result, may have been advertising malware to visitors. While we applied the security patch as quickly as possible, we were unfortunately attacked prior to the security patch being published.
However, we take security very seriously and have performed the necessary response to protect our visitors.
At this time we have notified Google of our actions, and are waiting for Google to perform another scan to give dbanotes.com a clean bill of health.
As of Sunday, Sept. 4, 2011, if you get the following browser malware warning you may safely choose to ignore it.
What was our response to the Security Exploit ?
We rebuilt the entire dbanotes.com site from scratch. New database, new WordPress installation, new Theme installation, and a clean import of all content from backup.
If you still feel you are at risk of getting malware from visiting dbanotes.com, I encourage you to wait until Google removes the official malware warning.
Thank you for your continued support.
Regards,

Quick update for those who are wondering. Google has my site held hostage. Not really, but it feels that way, as we are still waiting on Google to remove the Malware Warning. This process is not smooth, or complete by any means. It appears Google can identify malware, but cannot identify when it is removed or provide any guidance on how to prove that your site is clean. Google Humans please help!
Thank you Google. The Malware Warning has now been removed.
