This is Google's bot misfiring again (Firefox keys off the same info). When I go to my "webmaster tools" page for othercrap.com, it says "Status of the latest badware review for this site: A review for this site has finished. The site was found clean. The badware warnings from web search are being removed. Please note that it can take some time for this change to propagate."
It has said that now for more than a day, but the change has apparently not rippled through their system, or something.
Actually, they have managed to top that for sheer ineptmess. Google is now saying that www.scoopy.net has turned into an attack site, even though not a single comma or semicolon has changed on that URL since about 2003!
Needless to say, there is no badware or malware distribution going on at either site. You can see the code for yourself, if you know how to read it. Nothing but straight .htm code and ad scripts from Amazon and Google.
Anyway, if you want to visit the sites while you wait for them to clean up their act, there are two fixes: (1) use Bing for your search engine; (2) if you use Firefox, go to the Firefox menu Tools/Options/Security and uncheck "Block reported attack sites."
