Firefox marked the forum as an "Attack site" [RESOLVED]

Does anybody understand this nonsense?

Yeah, it's saying the site hasn't hosted anything, but that doesn't mean that one of the ads that pops up didn't, cause they're usually called externally.

Seen any new ads recently? Maybe like this one I'm looking at right now for thetubestore.com that I've never seen before...

We all know that it would be extremely unlikely for this site (diyaudio.com) to get infected by something, but we have no guarantees that any external ad sites haven't been, and that's all it takes to end up on google's naughty list.

Ho ho ho, lump of coal.

Edit: I'm actually seeing a lot of new ads that I've never seen before, I wonder who is the culprit. Might be time to add the site to ghostery till they figure out what the deal is.

While I was fixing the image link issue, Google webmaster tools just threw up a new warning, which I believe was the real reason for the "all of a sudden" Malware warning and that problem had its inception 16 hours ago. That's been resolved now too, so hopefully within 24 hours the warnings will stop appearing.
 
I cant believe you guys are plugging chrome, I thought you would be smarter than to promote spyware from an advertising company.

Every single thing that you type into that address bar into chrome is sent to google for analysis, so google not only knows every single site that you visit, but when, where from, how long you spend on there, what sites you visited on that main site, and so on.

The chrome address bar is a search bar plugged directly into google servers, for convenience they say, oh its a feature they say, no we wont give that information to anyone else they say, yeah right.

When you use firefox or another browser ONLY diyaudio.com sees that info.

Chrome might aswell be a keylogger because all an attacker has to do is imitate and proxy google.com from your ip address to know EVERYTHING that you do.

just because its the most popular doesn't mean its not being used by a bunch of lemmings, same with Android, its an open book to every spyware virus on the planet, but its so popular it isn't funny.

I removed chrome from my ipad because it stored 300MB of private info on me and didn't give me a button to delete it, it was even more useless than safari because at least safari lets me delete my private info from settings.

Now who is the criminal sticking his hand through the screen to grab my laptop, eh eh? its you isn't it google, bloody advertising companies!

For plain old diyaudio.com for years I stuck to the one last free firefox there ever was and ever will be, firefox 3.6 and used a copy of faronix deep freeze and made a nice web box thats dedicated to browsing, nowdays though windows 7 has laid waste to all of this and so has youtube.

I really hate it when corporations dictate what runs on my system and forces me to upgrade just so they can track me better and make more money.

I've got nothing to hide but I find it not only insanely creepy but also walking right into the hands of Big Brother and George Orwell's 1984 to be using Chrome, and find it doubly creepy that diyaudio.com community is in bed with it.
