Just entered and it said "Threat Detected"
Just entered and it said "Threat Detected" was the site hacked at some point?

Are you running Firefox as a browser.
Firefox gave me the same message on Sunday when I went to enter a bullet casting forum which I have visited 50 times before without issue.
If your browser was Firefox and maybe like mine, it had a little hiccup , I don't know for sure but thought it worth mentioning.

This could be part of a broader SSL-certificate problem internet wide, Mozilla have un-trusted a provider of SSL certificates in china (called start-com) for being a bit dodgy, so for the past two weeks it has been causing problems for lots of sites. It may be that depending on where you request the forum from one of the certificates in that chain has been affected, not much to be done until its fixed if so. Sorry for the nerd-out i've just been dealing with this all week at work.

I am using Win 7Pro and the current version of Opera. I had the msg below yesterday and again now via Opera when joining from the link in WWF Auctions. I did a screen grab of the message yesterday and saved it but could not locate it when I tried to place a warning message. Did the same again today and found it before I could save the one from today, so the message shown is the one received yesterday.
I used to be an engineer, I'm not an engineer any more, but on the really good days I can remember when I was.

I ran a boot scan early this morning seems the threat detected has gone away, maybe it was just my computer?

Just logged in and had the same message from Opera again, also had it late last night when I logged in in Melb via wireless broadband.

Just attempted to log in on a different machine from a google search in Opera. Selected the primary heading Metal Work Forums (www.metalworkforums.com). This took me to myfilestore.com for a second and the Opera warning from above came up. Clicked on the ignore warning button on the Opera warning screen, and the warning screen was replaced with myfilestore.com again.
Closed the tab and repeated the process a number of times and each time the primary google link bought me straight to the forum without warning screens etc.I used to be an engineer, I'm not an engineer any more, but on the really good days I can remember when I was.
