Got it as well here, on the forums main directory, as that is what my book mark takes me to automatically. Using Firefox 8.0 (when did they shoot up in numbers like that?? Last I checked it was 4 lol)

Still getting it on both the main site and forums with Firefox, 3.whatever on Win 7. Got logged out of the forums and couldn't log back in, so I'm posting via Opera right now.

I'm pretty sure it's been cleaned up, but Google is still reporting it as potentially hazardous, so I submitted the site to be re-evaluated. Now we have to wait for the Google overlords.

I'm still getting it on Firefox if I directly type in the URL. That doesn't go through google, does it?

It might -- they could likely feed into it.
Do they have their own database?
If anyone knows, please let me know how I can have the site re-evaluated.

Just popped up on me again. I did do a scan right afterwards the first time, and nothing showed up.

After clicking on Ignore This Warning on this screen

Another bar comes under the top of the page, and I click on the "This isn't an attack site" button, it takes you to http://www.stopbadware.org and on http://www.stopbadware.org/home/reviewinfo it has a link to the Google database reviewer which is what they are using -- Firefox will feed into Google for attack/phishing sites.
