Reported Attack Site! Warning messages in Firefox.

Reported Attack Site! Warning messages in Firefox.

I bookmarked the site with the title Kristen Bell Online,  just a few hours ago. I have not encountered any warning message from Firefox ever since. But as I go back on the site which  I think, an hour ago, Firefox displayed a red warning message which says that the site has been reported as an attack site so I click the “Get me out of here!” button.

After few hours more, I got back on the site. The warning message had  gone. So, what happened?

Is this a trick from a virus infection or someone was attacking the said site and not the site was attacking me.

Please tell me what’s wrong for I sometimes encountered this in Google also.

Reported Attack Site!

This web site at http://www.naturalbeautykbell.com/ZMRdZ/ has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.

Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.

Get me out of here!      Why was this site blocked?

Reported Attack Site! Warning messages in Firefox.

Hi!

This error is a new function of the Firefox. This is mainly happens on Firefox 3. This error appears when the particular web site is containing malware on it. If the Firefox detects such malware, it gives the warning message which you have seen. You cannot exactly say  where the malware is coming from. They might be effect of either plug-in or java script.

As a solution, you can scan your PC system with an anti virus software installed in the computer, and try to open it again.

In the market recently, they have been carrying on a campaign on malware to encourage users to buy some anti virus softwares.
