When I visit the Balcony's website I get this warning message. Never got it before, and have never had a problem with the Balcony site. Anyone else getting this message, or had any problems. If you click on "more info" about this warning it says the site was checked as recently as yesterday and they found problems with it, thus the warning. Anyone in BKK to inform the owners they need to give their site some attention.

Our apologies for this problem. We were informed of this by email from Google on Friday, 26 February.

Our webmaster is currently working on the problem, examining all the files. He will re-upload the website to the server when everything has been checked. Once this has been done, Google will be asked to test the site again and if it is clean then they will remove the warning. We expect to be on-line again as usual in 2 or 3 days.
