When navigating to the x10hosting.com homepage today on multiple occasions (although not every time) I have received a warning about suspected malware. It claims it has something to do with zxfr.salefale.com, but a search of the homepage yields no reference to that page.
A quick Google for info about that site brought up this document that highlights the exploits used on the site. I'm no expert on this, but clearly something is wrong here and I thought I would just bring it to your attention. It's not likely to cause me any problems, but those on more vulnerable browsers may be at risk, provided the warning is valid.
I have attached a screenshot of the warning.

EDIT: I also seem to be having problems signing in to my account panel. I understand it is undergoing an update, so I assume it is just a temporary problem.

I have experienced the same problem, and also, listing my free x10hosting website on FaceBook has also resulted in a Malware warning. Further, the login problem being addressed refers you to the control panel link which is disfunctional at this time, and the contact information leads to a dead page. Hope things get worked out because otherwise, I really like the site.

I hope this is really resolved. It's been 5 hours since Christopher's post and my Firefox is still flagging up any x10hosting.com domain as badware.

On a side note, while searching for x10-related domains on www.stopbadware.org I came across this subdomain -
Code:
analporn.x10hosting.com
. I thought these were against the TOS.

And the stopbadware site is reporting these as containing badware:
kasp.x10hosting.com/
securechecks.x10hosting.com/
securecheks.x10hosting.com/
syrus.x10hosting.com/
zeusformyfriend.x10hosting.com/
x10hosting.com/

Confirmed... Mallware warnings are appearing on every sub-domain of x10hosting.com including this forum and my own website that is still in development process and only has the front page atm. This is what Google Chrome says about it:

Edit: Ok,... I rushed to post the message but have now read that someone else published the same message and that admins are taking actions to solve this :) Good work guys!!!

I am using Konqueror on my UNIX-based computer, so I am good but it still gets reported on my Firefox browser. I hope you guys fix this soon because why would anyone want to host a website on a server that is reported to host malware. Don't you guys have like an anti-virus to do these sort of things?

One of the admins posted in another thread that one of z10's advertising scripts had been hacked which caused this problem. No "false positive" by Google. It was real. But according to admin x10 removed the bad script yesterday and informed Google that the problem has been solved. However, Google has apparently not yet taken required action on their part to remove the malware warning.

I'm glad the issue has now been fixed, though the google block is still on my site (but not others eg lemon-tree's). Hopefully it should come off soon!

Thanks admins

Edit:

If I proceed to the site anyway (any page thereon), it has a 500 (Internal Server Error), with a 404 for lack of ErrorDocument. I've not seen this before on x10, do you think it is related?

Edit 2:

Well it's all working now (the next day) anyway. Thanks!

Have the same warning.
IE doesnt give me the warning.

So the problem is from X10hosting?
I was affraid that my site was infected...

Just throwing it out there, it's a bit annoying because it happens three times just to get access to cPanel and Phpmyadmin (payed hosting), just in case these files haven't been mentioned before (no idea why css files would come up as malware >.<)

The issue has been resolved, as was said above. For those of you who are still seeing these issues it is because your browser is still using an older copy of the database of blacklisted sites from yesterday. Your browser will update this database at regular intervals (e.g. Once a day), be patient and when the new database is downloaded X10 will be back to normal.
