My AV blocks the site because it has been reported as a malware site.

So, my guess would be that they're distributing malware, and copying us is a way to get traffic to the site.

I can access it all right with SeaMonkey, but there's something wrong with the CSS, making all text content appear in a single column with no images or formatting.

And yes, SYSTEM's explanation seems very likely to me. :|

1. You can report the site to Google as malware site https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebro ... are/?hl=en

2. I would edit the OPs post to avoid the link from working now it just adds to their traffic e.g. so something like domain [dot] tld - that way people can't click on it by accident.

Thanks for catching that. Sites like that show up roughly once a year and really the only way to stop them is what we've got going on in this thread: people willing to ping sites and authorities about their status.

Also I didn't know about that resource lintalist pointed out. Thanks.
