Below is the straight code for the site's current main page, or index. The only scripts on it are for the Atomz search engine. Where's that malicious script Google talks about. Again use your browser's View > Source to check for yourselves.
Keep in mind that this is the *exact* page that Google claims is infected in its entirety:

<h3 align="center">Hardwar ISOs Available</h3>
<p>I made my own ISOs and <em>darkphoenix</em> found a good host in MegaUploads.com . I've tried some other hosting sites without much luck, but MegaUploads.com is a little better than what I've tried before. I'll be hosting ISOs on various servers linked at this site from now on.</p>
<p>So here are the downloads:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7BBMVADJ" target="_blank">Hardwar F2.01 (original) disc 1</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=REJTZUO1" target="_blank">Hardwar F2.01 (original) disc 2</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=83XPKIX0" target="_blank">Original SR Patches</a> - including beta patches only available to the beta testers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1LSNJPGR" target="_blank">Complete Set of Ian Martin (UIM) Patches</a></p>
<p>These are permanently linked on my <a href="gethardwar.htm" target="_blank">Get Hardwar</a> page. I also have text copies of the URLs to the files. Please feel free to add these to your own sites, blogs, and social networking. Stable ISO downloads can really help promote the game.</p>
<p>If there are any problems, write me at <a href="mailto:captain_zedo@hotmail.com">captain_zedo@hotmail.com</a> . Please note that MegaUploads limits the bandwidth for free downloads. It's not bad, but there's nothing I can do about that.</p>

<h3 align="center">I Killed An Alien !!</h3>
<p>I've heard of people killing one of the Alien Moths since I started the site, but was never able to do it myself. That changed last week when I caught an alien jammed together with another Moth just outside Trade Central.</p>
<p>I noticed a big pile up of "frozen" Moths and heard the collision noise (irritating, isn't it?). I saw what was happening and decided to kill the trader the Alien was colliding with. I figured that this would free the Alien to fly away and the other moths would go about their business. It worked better than expected.</p>
<p>I carefully got to just within laser range, but far enough out where I wouldn't be paralyzed by the Alien ship. This can be done. Plasma Kannon makes the pilot have to get too close, but lasers have a little more range. I started hitting the trader, but noticed I was hitting the Alien. I knew that the Alien could be damaged, so I kept it up. The Alien shortly blew into chunks of Unknown Origin. I ended up having to fight off the Trader who attacked me as soon as the Alien was destroyed and the Moths were no longer frozen.</p>
<p>This was the first time in countless games that I destroyed the Alien. The Alien Moths <em>do</em> get stuck quite a bit and can be a nuisance. Now I know how to clear that up!</p>
<hr size=2 width="50%" align="center" color="#ff0000" noshade><br><br>
<h3 align="center">Site Warnings And Google Bulls**t</h3>
<p>Many of you have gotten Google warnings about my site being infected with malware. It's not and never was. The server did get an annoying script attack that redirected people to a pharmaceutical site, but that's been taken care of. It was hardly "malicious". The unauthorized script ran for about eight hours. Google will block the site for months. Google is neither quick nor accurate with sites that won't pay their fee for "Webmaster Tools".</p>
<p>Note that Google's "warnings" are the same type of unauthorized redirect they're warning about. Unlike the script that sneaked on this site's server, the Google script is malicious and tries to block your viewing. Google also blocks sites that have nothing at all wrong with them. This is what they did for the government of China, only more aggressively. Unfortunately, they still have a following of well-intended people who just don't know any better.</p>
<p>You can get <em>real security</em> by turning off the Google redirect/advertising and using the free versions of ZoneAlarm or Commodo while browsing. You'll get much beter results and fewer annoyances. Plus you can turn off "reporting", which you can't do with your browsers Google security scam product.</p>
<p>You can also use <a href="http://scroogle.org/" target="_blank">Scroogle</a> to get Google's search capacity without its tracking malware and advertising. You can also learn a lot about what Google is really all about.</p>
<hr size=2 width="50%" align="center" color="#ff0000" noshade><br><br>
<h3 align="center">Even MORE Patches Uploaded</h3>
<p>I've uploade three fun patches by <em>Flap</em>: <a href="ChangingWeather.zip">Changing Weather</a>, <a href="ChemicalGenerator.zip">Chemical Generator</a>, and <a href="ExplosiveFusion.zip">Explosive Fusion</a>. They're described at the bottom of the new <a href="patches.htm" target="_blank">Player Patches</a> page.</p>
<p>I've also edited and further updated the <a href="install.htm" target="_blank">Installation Page</a>. I need all of the advice I can get on installation. I'm writing a FAQ for the site and boards for new pilots before I upload the full game ISOs.</p>
<p>I added the "dplay.dll" file to the <a href="Hardwar Pack.zip">Patched Demo Download</a>. I also updated the ReadMe file.</p>
<p>Also, keep an eye to the column to the right. I'm updating the "Thanks" list with current pilots that are helping with the new series of updates. I know I've overlooked some people who have sent me patches. Please <a href="mailto:captain_zedo@hotmail.com">email me</a> with your pilot name so I can give you some well deserved credit.</p>
<hr size=2 width="50%" align="center" color="#ff0000" noshade><br><br>
<h3 align="center">Game Download And Updated Installation Guide</h3>
<p>After a long wait. I've uploaded a <a href="Hardwar Pack.zip">Patched Demo Pak</a>. It includes the original Hardwar Demo, the UIM06 patch, and a new installation guide. This will give you a completely playable game. The installation guide includes some troubleshooting hints from the bulletin boards.</p>
<p>I've also updated the <a href="install.htm" target="_blank">Installation Guide</a> to reflect new ideas on troublshooting DirectX 10+ video problems. More on this on the way. <em>Prohpet</em> has recommended making some FAQs on installation and gameplay. That's a great idea and I'm working on them now. I'll keep them on the site and both boards. Thanks, <em>Prophet</em>.</p>
<p>More updates and uploads on the way. I'm still looking for a server to host the whole game's ISOs. In the meantime, you can get the full game at <a href="http://www.bumpatrol.org/index.php?topic=523" target="_blank">BumPatrol</a>. Note that you have to download the game's audio in a separate download also hosted on their site.</p>

<h3 align="center">MORE Player-Patches Uploaded</h3>
<p>I've uploaded the three more player-made patches to a <a href="patches.htm" target="_blank">new patches page</a>: ResEdit, MapTest, and SHPEditor. I expect to have all of the old Hardwar.info stuff up before the end of the month.</p>
<p>I've also uploaded the original <a href="HardwarUIM02.exe">UIM02 Patch</a>. This was <em>Ian Martin</em>'s original second series patch. It's permanently linked on the <a href="dexdown.htm" target="_blank">Downloads Page</a>.</p>
<p>Please email me any patches and ReadMe files you may have so I can make a complete database of patches.</p>

<h3 align="center">First Player-Patches Uploaded</h3>
<p>I've uploaded the first of the player-made patches to a <a href="patches.htm" target="_blank">new page</a> on the site. I expect to have all of the old Hardwar.info stuff up before the end of the month.</p>
<p>If you have any patches you don't see listed, please write me at <a href="mailto:captain_zedo@hotmail.com">captain_zedo@hotmail.com</a> to see if I need it. If I do, you can just email it to me. I certainly appreciate all of the help I've gotten from you guys during this site update.</p>

<p>I've updated the <a href="getmoths.htm" target="_blank">Getting Exotic Moths</a> page with the new, fast recipe for getting Downtown Moths to run through its production cycle. Get your fleet cheap!</p>
<p>Write me if you know of any tips on making this procedure more effeicent or how to get hold of any of the needed components. My best tip: hold on to 16 Ore as soon as you can. It can get scarce around Downtown around Day 7 or so.</p>
<hr size=2 width="50%" align="center" color="#ff0000" noshade><br><br>
<h3 align="center">More Changes Coming!</h3>
<p>Give the new site search engine to the left a try. I'm also working on a new page of indexes that will better organize the site. I'm getting ready to upload a big batch of skins, screenshots, and tips I've collected over the year.</p>
<p>I got the <a href="http://hardwar.proboards.com/" target="_blank">new bulletin board</a> started over the weekend. I've got some more changes in store.</p>
<p>One thing I'd like to do is update and organize my links. I could really use your help. Go over my <a href="links.htm">Links Page</a> and email me with any problems you find. I want to delete obsolete entries (except for Software Refinery's) and include new sites not listed. I'm particularly interested in getting updates for player made patches.</p>
<hr size=2 width="50%" align="center" color="#ff0000" noshade><br><br>
<h3 align="center">New Bulletin Board Started</h3>
<p>I've just completed testing on a new bulletin board. It's very much like the current one. The current one has quit accepting new memebers and I'm getting 2 or 3 emails from new members about this daily. There are still a lot of people taking up Hardwar or dusting off the CDs after a break.</p>
<p>The new board's URL is <a href="http://hardwar.proboards.com/">http://hardwar.proboards.com/</a>.Please write me with any problems or gripes you have with the new board. Note that I will keep the current board going as long as people keep posting. There's no rush to close it, but I need a board for new players to join.</p>
<p>Keep an eye on the site this week for new content indexing and a new site search engine. There's a lot of new material I've put up over the past year that seems to have been lost in the old menu system. I'm going to make a series of indexes, a site map, and add a site search engine to make the content easier to locate.</p>

<h3 align="center">Hardwar ISOs Available</h3>
<p>I made my own ISOs and <em>darkphoenix</em> found a good host in MegaUploads.com . I've tried some other hosting sites without much luck, but MegaUploads.com is a little better than what I've tried before. I'll be hosting ISOs on various servers linked at this site from now on.</p>
<p>So here are the downloads:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7BBMVADJ" target="_blank">Hardwar F2.01 (original) disc 1</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=REJTZUO1" target="_blank">Hardwar F2.01 (original) disc 2</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=83XPKIX0" target="_blank">Original SR Patches</a> - including beta patches only available to the beta testers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1LSNJPGR" target="_blank">Complete Set of Ian Martin (UIM) Patches</a></p>
<p>These are permanently linked on my <a href="gethardwar.htm" target="_blank">Get Hardwar</a> page. I also have text copies of the URLs to the files. Please feel free to add these to your own sites, blogs, and social networking. Stable ISO downloads can really help promote the game.</p>
<p>If there are any problems, write me at <a href="mailto:captain_zedo@hotmail.com">captain_zedo@hotmail.com</a> . Please note that MegaUploads limits the bandwidth for free downloads. It's not bad, but there's nothing I can do about that.</p>

<hr size=2 width="50%" align="center" color="#ff0000" noshade><br><br>
<h3 align="center">I Killed An Alien !!</h3>
<p>I've heard of people killing one of the Alien Moths since I started the site, but was never able to do it myself. That changed last week when I caught an alien jammed together with another Moth just outside Trade Central.</p>
<p>I noticed a big pile up of "frozen" Moths and heard the collision noise (irritating, isn't it?). I saw what was happening and decided to kill the trader the Alien was colliding with. I figured that this would free the Alien to fly away and the other moths would go about their business. It worked better than expected.</p>
<p>I carefully got to just within laser range, but far enough out where I wouldn't be paralyzed by the Alien ship. This can be done. Plasma Kannon makes the pilot have to get too close, but lasers have a little more range. I started hitting the trader, but noticed I was hitting the Alien. I knew that the Alien could be damaged, so I kept it up. The Alien shortly blew into chunks of Unknown Origin. I ended up having to fight off the Trader who attacked me as soon as the Alien was destroyed and the Moths were no longer frozen.</p>
<p>This was the first time in countless games that I destroyed the Alien. The Alien Moths <em>do</em> get stuck quite a bit and can be a nuisance. Now I know how to clear that up!</p>
<hr size=2 width="50%" align="center" color="#ff0000" noshade><br><br>
<h3 align="center">Site Warnings And Google Bulls**t</h3>
<p>Many of you have gotten Google warnings about my site being infected with malware. It's not and never was. The server did get an annoying script attack that redirected people to a pharmaceutical site, but that's been taken care of. It was hardly "malicious". The unauthorized script ran for about eight hours. Google will block the site for months. Google is neither quick nor accurate with sites that won't pay their fee for "Webmaster Tools".</p>
<p>Note that Google's "warnings" are the same type of unauthorized redirect they're warning about. Unlike the script that sneaked on this site's server, the Google script is malicious and tries to block your viewing. Google also blocks sites that have nothing at all wrong with them. This is what they did for the government of China, only more aggressively. Unfortunately, they still have a following of well-intended people who just don't know any better.</p>
<p>You can get <em>real security</em> by turning off the Google redirect/advertising and using the free versions of ZoneAlarm or Commodo while browsing. You'll get much beter results and fewer annoyances. Plus you can turn off "reporting", which you can't do with your browsers Google security scam product.</p>
<p>You can also use <a href="http://scroogle.org/" target="_blank">Scroogle</a> to get Google's search capacity without its tracking malware and advertising. You can also learn a lot about what Google is really all about.</p>
<hr size=2 width="50%" align="center" color="#ff0000" noshade><br><br>
<h3 align="center">Even MORE Patches Uploaded</h3>
<p>I've uploade three fun patches by <em>Flap</em>: <a href="ChangingWeather.zip">Changing Weather</a>, <a href="ChemicalGenerator.zip">Chemical Generator</a>, and <a href="ExplosiveFusion.zip">Explosive Fusion</a>. They're described at the bottom of the new <a href="patches.htm" target="_blank">Player Patches</a> page.</p>
<p>I've also edited and further updated the <a href="install.htm" target="_blank">Installation Page</a>. I need all of the advice I can get on installation. I'm writing a FAQ for the site and boards for new pilots before I upload the full game ISOs.</p>
<p>I added the "dplay.dll" file to the <a href="Hardwar Pack.zip">Patched Demo Download</a>. I also updated the ReadMe file.</p>
<p>Also, keep an eye to the column to the right. I'm updating the "Thanks" list with current pilots that are helping with the new series of updates. I know I've overlooked some people who have sent me patches. Please <a href="mailto:captain_zedo@hotmail.com">email me</a> with your pilot name so I can give you some well deserved credit.</p>
<hr size=2 width="50%" align="center" color="#ff0000" noshade><br><br>
<h3 align="center">Game Download And Updated Installation Guide</h3>
<p>After a long wait. I've uploaded a <a href="Hardwar Pack.zip">Patched Demo Pak</a>. It includes the original Hardwar Demo, the UIM06 patch, and a new installation guide. This will give you a completely playable game. The installation guide includes some troubleshooting hints from the bulletin boards.</p>
<p>I've also updated the <a href="install.htm" target="_blank">Installation Guide</a> to reflect new ideas on troublshooting DirectX 10+ video problems. More on this on the way. <em>Prohpet</em> has recommended making some FAQs on installation and gameplay. That's a great idea and I'm working on them now. I'll keep them on the site and both boards. Thanks, <em>Prophet</em>.</p>
<p>More updates and uploads on the way. I'm still looking for a server to host the whole game's ISOs. In the meantime, you can get the full game at <a href="http://www.bumpatrol.org/index.php?topic=523" target="_blank">BumPatrol</a>. Note that you have to download the game's audio in a separate download also hosted on their site.</p>
<hr size=2 width="50%" align="center" color="#ff0000" noshade><br><br>
<h3 align="center">MORE Player-Patches Uploaded</h3>
<p>I've uploaded the three more player-made patches to a <a href="patches.htm" target="_blank">new patches page</a>: ResEdit, MapTest, and SHPEditor. I expect to have all of the old Hardwar.info stuff up before the end of the month.</p>
<p>I've also uploaded the original <a href="HardwarUIM02.exe">UIM02 Patch</a>. This was <em>Ian Martin</em>'s original second series patch. It's permanently linked on the <a href="dexdown.htm" target="_blank">Downloads Page</a>.</p>

<p>I've uploaded the first of the player-made patches to a <a href="patches.htm" target="_blank">new page</a> on the site. I expect to have all of the old Hardwar.info stuff up before the end of the month.</p>
<p>If you have any patches you don't see listed, please write me at <a href="mailto:captain_zedo@hotmail.com">captain_zedo@hotmail.com</a> to see if I need it. If I do, you can just email it to me. I certainly appreciate all of the help I've gotten from you guys during this site update.</p>

<h3 align="center">More Changes Coming!</h3>
<p>I've updated the <a href="getmoths.htm" target="_blank">Getting Exotic Moths</a> page with the new, fast recipe for getting Downtown Moths to run through its production cycle. Get your fleet cheap!</p>
<p>Write me if you know of any tips on making this procedure more effeicent or how to get hold of any of the needed components. My best tip: hold on to 16 Ore as soon as you can. It can get scarce around Downtown around Day 7 or so.</p>

<h3 align="center">More Changes Coming!</h3>
<p>Give the new site search engine to the left a try. I'm also working on a new page of indexes that will better organize the site. I'm getting ready to upload a big batch of skins, screenshots, and tips I've collected over the year.</p>
<p>I got the <a href="http://hardwar.proboards.com/" target="_blank">new bulletin board</a> started over the weekend. I've got some more changes in store.</p>
<p>One thing I'd like to do is update and organize my links. I could really use your help. Go over my <a href="links.htm">Links Page</a> and email me with any problems you find. I want to delete obsolete entries (except for Software Refinery's) and include new sites not listed. I'm particularly interested in getting updates for player made patches.</p>

<h3 align="center">New Bulletin Board Started</h3>
<p>I've just completed testing on a new bulletin board. It's very much like the current one. The current one has quit accepting new memebers and I'm getting 2 or 3 emails from new members about this daily. There are still a lot of people taking up Hardwar or dusting off the CDs after a break.</p>
<p>The new board's URL is <a href="http://hardwar.proboards.com/">http://hardwar.proboards.com/</a>.Please write me with any problems or gripes you have with the new board. Note that I will keep the current board going as long as people keep posting. There's no rush to close it, but I need a board for new players to join.</p>
<p>Keep an eye on the site this week for new content indexing and a new site search engine. There's a lot of new material I've put up over the past year that seems to have been lost in the old menu system. I'm going to make a series of indexes, a site map, and add a site search engine to make the content easier to locate.</p>

<h3 align="center">New Tips And Link</h3>
<p>I got some really neat missile and quick kill tips from <em>Jhodas</em>.I gave them a whole page in the Weapons section <a href="jhodastips.htm" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>I've also received all sorts of cool ideas from <em>Libelnon</em>. I'll be adding more from him in the future, but for now I'm adding his method of dealing with the rivals out to kill you when you play Hardwar as The Dealer. <a href="dealingwithrivals.htm" target="_blank">Here's</a> the page.</p>
<p>I've also added another <a href="links.htm" target="_blank">link</a>. It's to <a href="http://www.shinobis-place.de/" target="_blank">Shinobi's Place</a> where there's a lot of modding for several games including Hardwar. I've also added a great Vista installation and compatibility tip from <em>Andrew P</em> on the <a href="install.htm" target="_blank">Installaton Page</a>.</p>
