I'm running Chrome, on Linux. All up to date.
I just went to the ABC.com^ link and got a REPORTED ATTACK PAGE alarm.
I then went to the link at the bottom of the article ABC7.com and got connected.
The only difference is the caret ^ in the link.
Running Firefox, I just unchecked the ‘Block reported attack sites’ under the Options->Security menu.
Maybe not for everyone without some kind of backup screening.
I’m running Firefox on Linux, no problems.
Also running NoScript and adblock pro. No problem.
It’s not malware. The program is only looking at the construction of the link. It starts with free republic and it ends up somewhere else. This link construction is common for some links that have malware. The link is designed to fool people into clicking on it. This is not the case on free republic.
Things will happen fast.
Hmmm. I am running Opera on a Linux OS and had no difficulties with the links you provided. Perhaps you need to check your anti-malware settings, right?

Vanity: Temporary Fix for the Malware warning page that is plaguing FR today
It seems to have something to do with the redirector. I don’t get the warning if I click on the link below the excerpted portion of the article.
Sorry for my post. I’ve been up since 5AM.
I am experiencing the same thing.
All links in the top left are generating the following message:
The site ahead contains malware
