About the warning for "Attack sites"

[craftomega]

It seems to me that they seem to be a little random.

EX:
http://world.guns.ru/civil-e.html - this one is fine
http://world.guns.ru/civil/rus/saiga-e.html - this is an dangerous website

Just things like that. It seems almost to be a little racist.

This is only one example but does anyone know why they seem to be very arbitrary and inaccurate?

He may be talking about Google Chrome's safe browsing stuff? I loaded both pages in chrome, and sure enough, the first one went right through, the second one said world.guns.ru is known to harbor malware and asked me if I wanted to continue. I think the racism comment is about the Saiga being a Russian made gun, although I'm not sure how that correlates with the second page.

Well, Google [http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?hl=en-GB&site=http://world.guns.ru/civil/rus/saiga-e.html] tells you why it was blocked.

What is the current listing status for world.guns.ru/civil/rus?

Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this website may harm your computer.

Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 1 time(s) over the past 90 days

EDIT: Damn, I clicked "Post" instead of "Preview". Anyway, let me finish:

It is because the attacks (seem to) come from that page alone, so there is no need to blacklist the whole domain. Also, why racist?

People accused Norton of racism after they declared an official Chinese-English news site to be a malware site. In reality, even good sites can become attack sites because crafty crims like to hide malware in ads they put on their website. This happened with Destructoid a while back.

Lovely... I went to the second site using IE8 (for the lulz) and...I got nothing. No warning of any sort. Only after the page was loaded I got a pop-up saying "This page uses Java. If you want to learn more about Java [blah blah]". If you needed a reason why not to use IE, that is a good one.

Admittedly, it was version 8.0.7600.16385 on an almost vanilla Windows 7 installation.
