GCA Shop - False Positive for a virus / exploit

Post by caughtatwork » 20 April 10 10:05 am

A false positive on the GCA webstore has resulted in a temporary notification of a virus / exploit on the shop page.

We have requested a review with Google to remove that message. We hope that the false warning will be reviewed and removed shortly.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

There's only one thing worse than a false positive... - A positive! :D

Looks like it's been reviewed by Google and has the all clear.

It stems from a known issue. Not a drama.
