Malware warnings about geekhack

Does anyone else constantly get malware warnings when trying to visit the geekhack forums?

Both google and my browsers (firefox and chrome) seem to report the page as being harmful.

Internet explorer seems to be fine.

Today was the first time I could get on at all, and not without trouble.
“Wise statesmen as they were, they knew the tendency of prosperity to breed tyrants, and so they established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, their posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began — so that truth, and justice, and mercy, and all the humane and Christian virtues might not be extinguished from the land; so that no man would hereafter dare to limit and circumscribe the great principles on which the temple of liberty was being built.”
- Abraham Lincoln, July 4, 1858

I disabled it in Firefox so I don't see it anymore.
