Honeymoon is over, Google. You may soon be able to send men to Mars and cure cancer, but suddenly you hate me and won't let anyone visit my site anymore?

I woke up this morning and opened Firefox. I have a default page on my personal site set as my homepage. Instead I got a bright red page reading:

-----
Reported Attack Site!

This web site at www.hot-hot-hot-catlove.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.

Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.

Further it claims:

-----
Of the 8 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 5 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2008-11-12, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2008-11-11.

Malicious software includes 2 exploit(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 3 new processes on the target machine.

...yeah... No one has access to Catlove other than me. I've looked at the directories they claimed had bad stuff in it, and there's nothing but .html and .jpg files made/uploaded by me.

I've submitted my site for review, hopefully that'll get things straightened out. :/

Yes. :/ I'm really glad this happened while I was on vacation, I wouldn't have had time to deal with it while at work.
