[thelist] Firefox Reporting Site as Attack Site

[info at designbychen.com]

Todd, you wouldn't by chance be hosting it with ixwebhosting would you? I
had a client who had their sites hosted there and ran into this issue. We
ended up switching hosts, problem solved.

If not, might still be useful to Google 'ixwebhosting virus' and see if
there are similar issues affecting the site, perhaps a same solution.
