False positive? I signed on without any warning messages or alerts.
They've been working to fix this for a few days now. Everything came up clean on their side and Google had cleared them, but it looks like something's happened to flag the site again. I suspect their ad server's coming up as a false positive for some reason.

You might have an ad blocker active or your security software simply doesn't recognize it.

It might very well be that 1 of the ads on their site contains malware. False positives on malware in ads is pretty rare. You're much more likely to get false positives on files on your pc.
Criminals target ad servers because it's an easy way to target a (potentially) large group of people.

That's very true, but in this case I think their only ads are for GoG, so it seems unlikely.

I'm no representative of the site, but I know they're still trying to get to the bottom of it and figure out exactly what Google thinks is wrong.
Possibly related?

It doesn't matter who or what is being advertised. It's all about what the ad server is hosting. It's usually and ad server from an ad company that' was hacked.
