Don't get Norton, there are actual websites that teach you how to hack norton users. And do not use free anti-viruses, like AVG.. avg users should do some research, they don't realize that it gives false positives on some stuff, and lets the virus in on other stuff. My opinion for being on windows was BitDefender. For mac, not sure, but there is the link above.
Actually, this warning might have been a good thing. What if there was actual malware on this site? At first I thought this forum and the wiki had been hijacked. Web page redirects are not uncommon, and we all know that clickjacking is a major problem on the Internet. I'm actually glad the warning appeared (I'm using Firefox by the way). It made me stop and think before I clicked on anything.
Also, I give credit to the administrators for quickly informing the community about the situation. Thanks guys, you're the best.
I'm not saying displaying warnings is a bad thing, I'm just saying the warning doesn't necessarily mean your particular browser is in danger. The recent Internet Explorer exploit comes to mind.
Oh dear. I saw that this morning... Safari obviously doesn't give a warning screen. I was browsing MCForums about 10 hours ago on my iPhone. Is it a possibility that my iPhone could get malware?
My computer won't work now. Stuck on my laptop. Like really, it got completely fried. This sort of stuff on a crappy computer is instant death to the computer. :c

Kingdoms rise and fall. Just don't burn the paintings in the Louvre, that's all.
It's a secret... because Macs don't get viruses ;-) Google it
Because Linux does not get them either. Because, like, 99.95% of all people use.....Windows(like me).
It's also why people invented....proper Antivirus software. And unlike most of the current generation, i'm willing to pay to never have to bother about clicking a link or downloading malware. if it's malware, my Kaspersky kicks it out long before it says "Download: 1%".
Thanks for the heart attack. >.< I was wondering why this, the minecraft wiki, and mmo-champion were all having this problem. I should've guessed it was because they were all part of curse, and it was a curse issue.
I virus scanned after getting the error message, everything seems cool. Don't let that happen again, freaked me out. >.< Any more of that and I'm getting adblock.
This is kinda wierd... But I may have solved the problem... Some words on this forums are links to some sort of website , ( I didnt dare to click them ) , ( and i dont mean that any of u guys did this )Oh , and it came just today ( 2/11/12 ) , ( +7 GMT )
what about those who have noscript on their Firefox? should run my scans to be sure though,
I run NoScript, and just ran an anti-malware and anti-virus scan and my machine came up clean. Doesn't mean there definitely isn't any nasties on it now, but it seems logical that noscript would have stopped arbitrary JS exploits from running.
Bitdefender is well known for its product and has a VERY high rating. They even have a version for MAC.

Mac has had AntiVirus built into the background since about 2007. Shh... It's a secret... because Macs don't get viruses ;-) Google it
This is one of the few justifiable upsides to adblockers ;-)
Yes i have adblock i'm not sure if curse is unhappy for people to use it though
