What GOOGLE says about the WAPDA Site
When we attempted to access the WAPDA site from our server, the Google search page came up with a warning that the requested site may harm our computer.
www.google.com/interstitial?url=http://www.wapda.gov.pk/
When we tried to learn more we got a Google Advisory.
www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://www.wapda.gov.pk/&hl=en
We are reproducing here the Google advisory about the WAPDA Site. Perhaps someone at WAPDA will be conscientious enough to look inro this matter and attempt to resolve the issue.
It is a shame for every Pakistani that such an advisory about one of major institutions of the country is being publicly broadcast by a reliable organization of international acknowledgement and repute.
