This forum is currently listed as an attack site here:

AW officios might want to investigate.

I had a very odd warning from my Symantec protection program this morning when visiting this site. Haven't ever seen it before.

Must be a specific browser issue, I'm using the XP64 Pro, IE8, Avast and Spybot with no warnings? I did notice some long page delays over the weekend a few times.

It depends on what "black hole" or similar server they are using. Apparently Firefox used the one i provided the URL to. When i clicked on "why was this flagged" there were no actual dangerous incidents that i saw, so i ignored it and reported it here for the runners of this board to deal with.

I think we simply got profiled.

Yep, I've been stopped in my tracks twice today. Once with
Google Chrome and once with Firefox. Never happened before.

AVG reported and quarantined a trojan executable as soon as I visited this forum at about 1:30 Monday afternoon. Also saw a Java error and failure report for one of the Windows 7 subsystems at the same time.
