The poster explained:
It’s trying to run a shockwave flash movie that is 1pixel by 1 pixel in size. This is a well known attack vector to try and take advantage of a known flaw in flash that allows code to be run on your computer… These operations work by creating essentially disposable websites. They try to infect as many computers as possible before their address is flagged, then redirect to a new site.
It’s likely that the malware was not added with her knowledge or consent, or that of her web master.
General info ping.
Interesting... thanks. Do “the usual” anti-spyware / anti-virus software packages detect these exploits?
Cheers

Does this affect Mac computers as well as PC’s?
Been running anti-virus program but not detected anything (as yet).
OK, assuming that Google did find something nasty on the Taitz site, how did Google manage to make that warning message appear? Did Google infect the site too with their own code, or has Google infected Firefox (since IE supposedly didn’t show the warning)?
Google might be right about the infection, but I don’t trust Google’s motives.
There is a way to help reduce these threats.
You change your DNS settings to theirs, create an account and block .cn .ru .biz .info top level domains(I blocked the middle east and india too). By doing this you’ll eliminate 95% of all the malware domains. It’s 100% free and not a gimmick.

Last weekend, about every time I came to FR, I would get a notice of a Trojan from my antivirus software. This might explain those results. I haven’t had the problem since then, but I’ve been avoiding the birth certificate stories since then.
Lucianne.com blocked by Google because of a single bad link.
Free Republic prohibits third-party scripts of any sort, therefore is not susceptible to this type of shenanigan.

As someone else said - the Wild Wooly Web is NOT anonymous nor without potholes - and as the LDot info shows, it's not just the site itself you have to worry about. I run all over the place with my Firefox and AdblockPlus & NoScript plugins, and have AVG, SuperAntiSpyware, and AdAware running on the system. I don't use Infernal Exploder except to visit Micro$oft, and so far have not had any infection since I brought this system live on XP-SP2 in Sept, 2007; but a lot of nasty stuff has been blocked.
Be careful out there. By the way, the offending exploit in Orly Taitz site has been taken off - for now. Considering Obama has his Acorn IT team in the White House I'm sure it's all coincidence that the 'anti-Obama' sites are getting hammered!

I visited her website during the time it was supposedly contagious. Is it likely my machine got infected and if so what would the effects be?
Are you saying FR posters were infected or the FR website is now infected? I went to that site with Firefox and none of my programs detected anything. However, it’s possible my spyware doctor that runs all the time blocked it because I have it set to block automatically and not to notify me. It blocks and takes care of it automatically.
