    I don't know quite where to put this, but I felt I should inform someone that my browser has been reporting Fbbfanguy's blog as an attack site for about a month now.  In the past, if it was a site I knew, like that one, I would ignore the warning, but recently it's seemed like a good idea not to do that.

    Pretty sure this issue isn't widely known or worried about, but I'm posting it anyway, and if I come across any like this in the future, I'll post about it here.  If anybody can message fbbfanguy and let him know so he can maybe do something about it, that would be great.

    I noticed that "The Bigger the Better" also has a warning. Too bad. I really liked that site.

    Well, my curiosity got the better of me, and I skipped the warning.  Since then, it (warning) hasn't come up, though I did notify FBBfanguy of my finding beforehand.  Still kinda worried that I screwed myself up skipping that warning, but still.  I think I'll just start avoiding it unless someone sees that it's no longer being reported as an attack site.

    I don't know how reliable those warnings are.  I tend to have my doubts.  You can turn that warning thingie off, just open Tools > Options > Security and uncheck the "Tell me if the site I'm visiting is a suspected attack site" option.

    If you are seeing that message, then you're using Mozilla's Firefox browser.  Get the AdBlock Plus and NoScript add-ons and learn how to configure and use them, and you can reduce the risk of web-based malware intrusions by a huge degree.
