+1 with Firefox. Then, when I ignore the warning, it loads the page but the formatting is all wrong.

Same here with FF. I had to disable the Tools | Options | Block reported attack sites tick box just to get the site to load properly. Perhaps NAM can chime in?

Cheers!!

Sounds like a false positive... heuristics get involved and this is what you end up with.. better safe than sorry I guess. Unfortunately it taints good people along with it...

I was involved in VERY early version of web filtering for an aerospace company. The Union of Concerned Scientists was listed as a subversive organization... HR couldn't get to sexual harrassment related websites either...

This site is still being reported in FireFox v3.6.10 as of 1730 hours EDT. I prefer not to disable the malware warning right now, so I'm just using older IE v7 until it's resolved.

Don't do that. The older version of IE might not give you the warning, but it is most certainly more vulnerable to the type of scripting attacks found to be floating around here. The best bet if you must browse from a laptop is to follow Agarwaen's suggestion.

Guys, don't turn off that feature in your browser!! And if you have already, go turn it on again now!

That "solution" is about as smart as putting electrical tape over the check engine light.

Obviously, its a stupid thing to do if you don't know the cause of the issue or whether it's been fixed (and a good portion of you are likely to forget to turn it back on after it is actually fixed). But less obviously, if you just ignore it, you have no protection or warning when something else goes wrong (you don't only visit NAM online, do you?).

Would you really rather be infected than just a little annoyed for a few days?

Also, disabling scripting is good, but it only stops one method of infection. It is absolutely not bullet-proof protection. (far from it!)

We submitted for Google re-evaluation yesterday, we're still waiting for Google to go through that process.

Thanks Drew.... I figured you guys cleaned it up pretty fast. Too bad Google isn't as quick.

That is my question too. I doubt this was a false positive.

Just becuase IE doesn't detect it - well, FF is obviously better at it.

It was a false positive based on hueristics, UNLESS NAM was hacked which I doubt. IE nor FF aren;t detecting anything, they are relying on a 3rd party to determine the relative security of a website.

Case in point performa Google search on NAM and use a link, you'll get the warning in IE FROM Google, not IE. However you can copy and paste the link and it will work fine since Google is no longer involved.

Rumor has it that NAM was hacked and some malicious code was injected into their scripts.
