I was going to download the November UDK beta and got google's dangerous website warning. Anybody know what's up?

    Maybe someone from Silicon Knights reported Epic as an Infected Site, so now Google will show that warning?
    What is the current listing status for udk.com?
    Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site may harm your computer.
    What happened when Google visited this site?
    Of the 2 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2012-11-07, and suspicious content was never found on this site within the past 90 days.

    DUM-DUM-DUUUUUUUUUM!

    Jokes aside, just checked it. No pop-ups, no broken links, no-forwarding auto-text links, and it seems clean, at the same time, I sport Script and Flash blockers with Medium/High security for Firefox just to make sure.

    Oh, right! Yeesh, that whole Silicon Knights thing is a disaster. It does make you wonder. I'll probably just wait a day or so for the folks at Epic to get it sorted out.

    I've read somewhere that it's due to hotlinked membres.lycos.fr images triggering the unsafe site warning, but i'm not really totally sure. Flak would know.

    I wonder if this is related?
