I am experiencing this problem for the first time this morning. I have an older Mac running either Safari 5.0.6 or Firefox 3.6.28. For now I am simply selecting the ignore warning button on Safari. The choice to ignore the warning on Firefox seems to be disabled.

re: Easy solution. Uncheck the “Protect you and your device from malicious websites" box, use another browser, don't use google . . . .

Fine except for any of the billion or so Internet users who happen to run across www.freerepublic.com and now associate it with "danger."

As long as StopBadware Clearinghouse, Google, ThreatTrack Security, NSFocus, etc. make it easy as I understand it to

Report Badware

If you have encountered a badware URL, you can report it to StopBadware's community. StopBadware does NOT curate [oversee] or maintain a list of bad sites, and reporting a URL via this form does NOT mean the URL will be added to a list of bad sites maintained by any other company. A community report is merely a record that an Internet user believes badware was present on a given URL at a given time. This form is open to all who wish to use it, regardless of technical skill level.

Community reports will be included in our Badware Website Clearinghouse. They may be shared with third parties or used in a variety of other ways to help fight badware . . . .

"shared with third parties or used in a variety of other ways to help fight badware www.freerepublic.com"
