This is what I'm getting when I try to use photo stash.

Come on, guys. Wake up.

Reported by whom?  If you read their summary it indicates no malware found in the past 90 days, but they still choose to include photostash on their warning list.

Anyone else see something suspicious about this?

When I woke up I found that I'm blocked from photostash with the big, red, scary warning. Could be gods will, maybe just f***** up computer crap. Gee, hard to say.

Its bordering on ridiculous really.  Google uses an 3rd party that identifies sites that *might* have some sort of malware.  If reported, you get blocked.  We've requested several reviews, and those reviews have told us one or more folders that *might* have suspicious files.  Those files turned out to be pictures.  Nothing suspicious, or bad or Malware.

We're waiting for another review....

Incidentally, this only shows up for users who use Firefox or Chrome etc.  IE users won't even notice.

Hold on to your hats, we'll have it resolved soon.
