You may be right about the WordPress vulnerability, but regardless, it is still a major usability issue. The "Get me out of here" button should not be hard-wired to the FF search page, and there needs to be an easy way to turn the feature off. Nothing is more depressing than reaching the end of the internet. I am glad it has been changed in later builds. @Randy You're welcome. @Asa

We are TRYING very hard to get Google and Stopbadware.org to remove the warning on our site. Stopbadware.org is only a 3 person company with a 10-20 day backlog on REMOVING warning on your site.

It could have been one of the thousands of WordPress installs that weren't up to date and got hacked to link to malware. It could have accidentally linked to a Mac program that was a trojan. In Firefox 3 (already in the builds between Beta 5 and 3 Final) the warning page lets you pass through to the site but keeps a red warning information bar at the top of the screen so you're reminded that the page you're visiting is unsafe. - A What makes you think that the site was completely legit.
