    I don't get that message when I visit that site. I have my Safari preferences set to warn me when visiting fraudulent sites. I'm running Safari 3.2.1.

    You can tell by the message UI that it's in Mac OS X.

    i would be able to tell if i knew what the windows safari UI looked like for comparison. for all i knew it was the same.

    anyway, i don't get that message by going to the site, and never have had a message like that for any site.

    Oh my mistake, both UI's are different but the Leopard UI is quite distinctive. ;)

    I have had friends have the message pop-up on sites they know are not fraudulent. Probably just need to clear out your history and Cache and whatnot.

    Uhm, no... The message wants me to go to flashgetdown.com to check out Google's Safe Browsing diagnostic page. Which is total BS.
