I had something weird just happen to me as well. My Safari browsing warned me that I was entering a malware site when I clicked on fender.com.

Got the same thing this afternoon. I was told that my computer could be damaged if I entered "This" site, of course it was the Fender site. I shutted down the computer, started again and it worked.
:? I am just relieved to see that it is not just my computer but there is a problem for sure, since many people were affected. What do we do next?

First thing I would do guys is run a scan but before doing so do a disc cleanup to get rid of the temporay files.

if your updater and firewall were turned off, but you didn't do it, odds are some malicious program did it. i would be worried about having something nasty on your drive.
