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 :/
