everyone, until the folks who are in charge of the site deals with this, don't visit the site.  It caused my PC to download and install that stupid "Spyware Protect 2009" malware.

Subject: Re: [TheThinkTank] bike bike 09?

It's likely the same thing that happened to bikecollectives.org and the respective wiki a month or so back. Someone has "hacked" the site and is using it to spread some sort of ad/spy/malware. If I recall correctly, last time it was spam promoting Viagra. Jonathon in SLC (I think) administers these sites, but is surely busy with SLCBC. Once he (or whoever takes care of these things) is able to clean the sites, Google/Firefox will probably continue to report it as suspicious for a week or so afterwards, even though it's safe. Click on the "Why was this site blocked?" link (if you visit it through Firefox) and it will give you more information. Look where it says "The last time Google visited this site was on XXXX-XX-XX, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on XXXX-XX-XX." If the first date is later than the second date, the site has probably been cleaned and you can visit it without fear of infection. If the dates are the same, there's not much of a way of telling for end users.
 
If I'm wrong about this someone please correct me.

p.s. By the way, big thanks to whomever for taking care of all of this last time, and this time, and in the future.
