I'll try to explain what's happening here.

We get some of our offers from a partner company, and all of those offer links go through a particular domain name.  There are many hundreds of offers on this domain.  One of those advertisers had their website hacked and malware inserted into it.  Whichever advertiser it was, they are not on FusionCash - so you don't need to worry.  But Google's "safe browsing" system blocks the entire offer tracking domain when it finds a hacked advertiser's page.  That's why you are seeing this warning, and why it's OK to proceed.

Thank you for explaining...now I feel much better about proceeding!  My norton will quarantine anything anyway so I guess I didn't need to worry anyway!

Maybe it was just a warning?  I haven't had any problems with that offer!  But thanks for the heads up.
