Hi,

someones complained about the URL based on them stupidly installing 'cleanmymac' or such?

use the non flash junk HTML5 version instead

http://beta.speedtest.net/

still bleats about "Deceptive site ahead"

and PS "is not accessible in Chrome" - not true.

click DETAILS,  then click on 

visit this unsafe site.

(with the pre-condition of " if you understand the risks to your security"


I personally dont want or need Google to start being my nanny on the internet  :/
