I'm getting it too with firefox and AVG. Why does this sight go down frequently?

[Jazz P Bass]

I am getting nothing from MS Essentials.

[copperheadroads]

I'm running chrome as well & getting the same Malicious warning

[big_teee]

I'm running Linux and firefox, and it don't care.
If you want firefox to disregard the warning, in options uncheck the" Block reported attack sites".

[Jazz P Bass]

An awful lot of times on VBulletin, if someone attaches a corrupt (for whatever reason) picture or a link to somewhere strange, different browsers go apeshit.
I am running IE9, Vista Ultimate, with MS Sec Ess.
Nothing is coming up.
I did go to a SecureCheck site and they found a bad javascript file on the forum.(12/29/12)
Hopefully TBoy is on top of it.

I'm running Aurora (the successor to Firefox, from the same people), and also get the warning from Google.

The warning may in fact be correct, TBoy can talk to Google and get the details.

My Firefox browser blocked it earlier today, but now it isn't blocked anymore. However, Norton still shows blocking an attack by "Mass Injection Website". Tboy if you want, I can pm the details from Norton Internet Security. Edit: just sent the pm.

I think last time this happened we decided it was coming from outside through the google ad stream. In Safari and probably other browsers you can shut off all third party ads with an adblocker extension. I'm not sure what that does to T-boy's revenue stream. I should probably be sending him a year-end contribution. In Safari I'm getting the warnings but I'm ignoring them...

Just logged on and was blocked by Firefox, because MEF is being marked as an attack site again.
Here is the advisory that has been posted:
Firefox Website Warning | StopBadware
Anyway, stop badware is an organization to keep viruses, etc, off the internet. They will advise you for free.
According to this, Google has marked this MEF as an attack site.

However if you are equipped with adblock, antivirus that is updated, you should not worry all that much.
I am checking my security log, and there is no indication that MEF is an attack site, when I have used it.
Any attempted attack is logged, and there is no recent record of any malware attack from using MEF in my system.
Therefore, I remain skeptical that MEF contains malware at this time...

I'm getting the same warning with Safari, even with AdBlock running.Just a couple of minutes ago, while trying to post this, Safari froze, and then opened 12 blank full screen windows, and then tried to load ads in them. I force quit it at that point. I had to disable java script to get back in here. Tboy, please check your machine. These Google ads seemed to have done some damage. Even though I have no ads loading, there is some kind of script being run from your server.

Got it. Very helpful info - thanks!

Apparently, my skepticism is short lived.

It's back! I am again getting the malware site warning, after a day of quiet.

I turned off the notice in Safari, but at least the java script thing is gone, and the site is loading much faster now. It used to take a long time to post, but now it's in the blink of an eye.
