Attack Site

Okay, I know most of you guys already know about this .. but this is what I saw first time.

However, I was aware about this earlier. Firefox 3 have some advanced features .. According to Mozilla:

Firefox 3 or later contains built-in Phishing and Malware Protection to help keep you safe online. These features will warn you when a page you visit has been reported as a Web Forgery of a legitimate site (sometimes called “phishing” pages) or as an Attack Site designed to harm your computer (otherwise known as malware).

Now how Firefox able to figureout that the website is a Attack Site ?
Umm .. for this they used the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page.

Really something great and helpful, Looks like a dark future for anti-viruses .. Lol

    Now I really got to ask all of you that Use Firefox… WHY?… Let me share something with you. If you use Internet Explorer. Chances are you wont get the ‘Attack Site’. Ok So do we assume the IE is a Lame Browser?… Does this tell us that the anti virus program you have on your computer is?.. JUNK?… NO GOOD?.. provides NO protection when your surfing the Web?
    According to Firefox and google my website is an attack site.

    Here’s what I was told by my webhost to do to correct this problem.

    Download ALL the files in my account from my webhost and use the anti virus software I have on my computer to find out what files are causing this. And correct the problem. then Delete all the files in my Account and Reupload the files that I scanned with my anti virus.
    I’m thinking… ARE YOU NUTS D00D?… It would take me hours to do this. now correct me if I’m wrong?… but if my site was actually guilty of downloading anything malicious to your PC or mine?.. Shouldnt my ANTI VIRUS went of alerting me that this site was BAD?

    I’ve clicked on sites that have set my anti virus off letting me know it could harm my PC.

    So how come on my OWN Site Using IE?.. does it not say anything about an attack site… Pages load just fine. There Are no problems.

    When I run a scan on my pc to check for malware viruses or trojans… end result says I have no infections.

    So People?… Why are you putting up with the headache of Firefox and google?

    Now A class action suit needs to be filed and when that starts I will hop on the bandwagon.

    Firefox/google are the culprits here.

    I gotta wonder how this is gonna affect any company that sells and distributes anti virus software.

    All you gotta do is run firefox and their gonna control and keep you from causing any damage to your pc…<< laffs @ that Concept.

    Hackers!!… jump on this… Teach google and firefox a lesson. You could save firefox and google millions from what I feel is gonna be a matter of time for a HUGE Major Class Action Lawsuit is filed.

    But ultimately I'm telling the people that I do know that come to my site to put the word out if they use IE.. there is nothing wrong with my site.
