Most likely one of the ads served here had malware or other crap in it.

I get it through my iMac (Snow Leopard). My work laptop does not show an attack.

Very frustrating....

I got the same message and it is tied to a Google add in that monitors the web and found an issue with this site. The message I get says the web site has to contact Google to clear the error. I just stopped visiting the site from home

Yep, I am getting blocked also... NAM, please cleanup your site as Google indicates there are several links to domains on the site which contain malware...

Internet Explorer sends me right to the page with no problems at all.

LOL, not sure I would give that a thumbs up.... There was an issue and I believe that they have cleaned it up. Now they have to get off of Google's blacklist. IE sending you to the site just shows how screwed up the browser is. FF and Safari both check the Google database and throw up a flag.

Actually, I HAVE been accessing this site via IE while others have been unable to do so. I just do not post much anymore, but enjoy reading the "new posts" [today has been an exception, however].

Then your machine was at risk of being infected by the malware. The point of the warning is to keep your machine from being infected by a rogue script. Now, I am not saying that this happened on this site, but if they did have malicious code in their scripts, it is possible that you could have been infected by it because your browser DIDN'T warn you. IE is horribly insecure as a browser which is why they are losing ground in the browser wars.

Sadly I program around it for work.

Possibly...or not. I run my antivirus all the time, as well as other programs and have had no problems anywhere with anything in my searches.

AV does not really protect you against all malware.... If a site is infected with a script that is only supposed to download and install a payload that allows a hacker to take over your computer it is actually pretty easy to do on a windows box and can be missed by AV. Thus the reason that Google started that database.

On my mac I am less concerned as I have to approve the installation of software but even that can backfire if you trust a site like this one. You might approve it thinking that if is a friendly file.

Bottom line is that if you were getting the warning it was best to stay away from the site until it is fixed. Drew and team have removed the vicious code and are just waiting for Google to remove them from the ban list. While that happened I accessed it from my iPhone rather than risk rebuilding my computers.

But, I wasn't getting any warnings, from IE, my AV or any other malware detector. Oh well, like I said, IE worked for me...I like it, and it's never disappointed me...yet. Things might change...or not.
