When I'm looking at a few threads (as well as trying to log onto blutschwerter.de), I keep getting a malware notice. The threads, such as Hellfrost Encounters PREORDER available keep giving me the notice that "The website at tripleacegames.com contains elements from the site www.blutschwerter.de, which appears to host malware".
And not to completely embarrass the guy, but the same warning also appears if I, let's say, click on the shortcut to view Enno's profile.

I've had that happen to a couple of websites I run as well. There's nothing insecure on the TAG website. You get the warning because Enno uses an image from that website as his avatar. It looks like that website has been attacked by hackers and Google (and other resources) have picked up malware on it.
The, temporary, solution is for Enno to move his avatar to another website. Longer term, the webmasters for that website need to be informed so that they can check their server and, once they're happy that there is no malware, request a re-check from Google.
By way of assistance, I've copied Enno's avatar and uploaded it to tinypic.com for him. If he wants to use it he can use the following URL in his profile: http://i41.tinypic.com/517sk2.jpg _________________

These things happen unfortunately. As I said, I've had similar problems with websites I run. Most times it's the host server that's been hacked and not the website itself  _________________
