It's scary to watch a documentary and realize you know most of the people in it.

Tried on all my computers, different OS's and browsers-none of my security went off.

Firefox does that for me when I try to go to a known attack site. Could it be an error on their part? Sure. But I wouldn't chance it.

considering that I fix computers, I would never link to a bad site. I tried with 3 different computers, running 3 different OS's and 3 different browsers-not a one of mine blocked it.
Windows XP X64, Windows 7 Home Premium X64 and Mint Linux 11. Used Firefox, SeaMonkey and even Internet ExploDer.

Going to {Options} > {Security} > I keep both the second and third options clicked... "Block reported attack sites" and "Block reported web forgeries".

Incidentally the firefox browser version is 12.0a2.

I'm using 10. I have a tendency to stay a step behind the curve. If my Malwarebytes doesn't act up, I don't worry.

this post has been alerted on for the link-malware issue, maybe edit to mention some are having a problem with the link in case others don't read the thread before deciding to click on it.

for the record, niether Firefox nor MS security essentials gave me any trouble over it either...
