Security Warning: Wildcat site

Firefox warning:

site and has been blocked based on your security preferences."

What happened when Google visited this site?
"Of the 5 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 4 page(s)
resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user
consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2009-07-31, and the
last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2009-07-31."

narod.ru is free public hosting owned by the largest Russian search engine (yandex.ru).

I suspect that Google does not like Yandex search bar plugin advertisement and prefers its own. :)

Firefox accesses the yandex.ru site without complaint. It is only the WildCat site that causes problems.

Again, the quote from Google:
"4 page(s)resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent"

I suspect that the Wildcat pages were hacked...

Google doesn't care less. The site was hacked. Why blame Google?
