Today when I visited the Dry247.com web site I received a warning from Google. This is what the warning was. I am not implying intentional problems from the company or that it will do anything to your computer necessarily. This is just what I received. Do with the information what you will:

Thanks for the warning, Brian! That could save a lot of people grief, including myself.
I want to add that I have been doing monthly business with Dry247 (formerly Ultraguards) for over two years now, and they have been completely upstanding in our dealings.
I think if there is a problem with their website, it must have been malicious code added by a hacker. But whatever the cause, thanks for the heads-up!
