User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/531.21.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Safari/531.21.10
Build Identifier: recently updated but had to dump it

While I was working with five tabs open, www.pingjost.com overrode the window with the demand to check my computer for malware. I closed foxfire. reopened to same problem, the next day too. with Safari, determined pingjost a malware problem. could not clean the fox, so dumped it and reloaded again. with the reload, fox listed keep cop - online protection for a tab. THAT HAD NOT BEEN THE SITE THE TAB WAS OPENED TO and i do not know how it grabbed my computer. I was able to opt it off. THANKS.

Reproducible: Always

www.pingjost.com is now marked as a malware site. wget with/without a firefox ua didn't show a payload i could recognize.

I don't see anything on http://www.pingjost.com/ either but maybe the problem was on a deeper page. Certainly there must have been something if it was flagged in the SafeBrowsing database.
