I go to a trusted site called Bible.com and have been for years. Afternoon I got two pop ups from StopBadware that this website is an attack site and when I choose the option to ignore, it won't go away.. instead it takes me to another website in the name of Stop Badware and referring to a solution like "how do I disable the attack site warnings from Firefox. I don't believe it came from Firefox and would like to stop the pop ups... Thank You DorothyR

One of the reasons this service is valuable is that bad things happen to popular web sites. They let their guard down, and bad actors sneak malware onto the site. Make sure to let the site know!
