ugh. so annoying.

Every yotatech.com url does this, regardless of me acknowledging "ignore warning" and clicking "not a hack site".

I need to find where to turn this 'feature' off in firefart until they fix it (warn me once, shut the heck up afterwards, at least for the day).

^^^^^^ alt+t+o (Tools -> Options) -> Security -> [] Block reported attack sites.

I turned this feature off in Firefox ages ago.

I am a Symantec technical account manager. This does not mean that your computer is infected. This is a protection feature built in that protects users from browsing pages, that could potentially contain malicious redirects, or files.

What this most likely means, is that google has scanned the site for malicious vulnerabilities, or malicious, or suspicious files and has found some. Most likely a bot got on here and hosted a malicious link, or somebody posted a picture that had a malicious redirect attached to it. I suspect the moderatores are fully aware of this, and will be working with google to resolve the issue.

Just remember, you're no longer protected from legitimate attacks and shouldn't go clicking links willy-nilly.

Well, thanks for validating my concerns guys... Won't be on yotatech at work until this gets fixed... Can't afford for my work to block this site...

Still at work for 50 more minutes, and using IE.
It is a Google/Firefox thing you know...

I can not use Firefox here eithere as Boeing will then flag it and block it for all emplyee's until someone makes a case that the site is safe.

For those who do not want to mess with your Firefox settings, just use another browser for two days

It does take about that long for the ban to be lifted, as I watched the same thing happen over at the Portal.
