Malwarebytes blocks the site for me too. Indeed because of a possible Trojan.

Bottom line is that everybody should just make sure they're surfing safely. If you've got good virus protection, you'll probably be alright.

Well, still. There's thousands of sites out there that might get posted here. People can't rely solely on us to tell them which ones are safe.

Everyone is responsible for their own surfing behavior. Be smart and stay safe.
