As for your own site, Matt ... it seems clean. See the links below :

http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.matthoover.com

Oh, I know it's clean... I wrote every single bit of HTML by myself, by hand.  I just don't understand why it's getting flagged.  Best I can understand is that it has an IP "near" some other GoDaddy IP's that are known as being dirty?  That seems silly...

Did you read the link I gave you?
40 Additional match(es) found for: 208.109.78.
http://hosts-file.net/?s=208.109.78.133&view=matches

GoDaddy is notorius for hosting malicious domains and failing to take action against them.

Read all about them in the MBAM forum:
Malwarebytes Forum > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Support > False Positives
http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=26875

I did look at the first link earlier, right now it won't load again, that site is ridiculously slow.  But that doesn't answer WHY I'm on the list, just that I'm on it.

And the MBAM forum post doesn't really help either... it just says "that IP is on a range known for exploits, etc."  A "range"?  GoDaddy is, last time I checked, one of the largest hosts by numbers.  So statistically speaking you'd think they'd also have the most "infected sites" (I never really knew such a thing existed).  So I guess now I'm being punished for that?

I don't have MBAM installed... but does a MBAM user who browses to my site get security notices?  If so, is there any way I can go about fixing that?

Just a note folks, the hpHosts server traffic quadrupled today which completely bogged down the server. I believe this was due to the mention that hpHosts got, in todays Windows Secrets newsletter.

There are millions of users that use MBAM but not with avast! and read this topic on the forum that don't get security notices.

Get GoDaddy to remove their rogue sites.
