Kinda related, but why is dropbox.com or getdropbox.com coming up as attack site? I'm using Firefox.

From the (supposedly malware-filled) forums:

hi guys,

google falsely blacklisted the entire domain as a result of some users hosting malicious files as public links. your files are safe and nothing about dropbox is malicious. this happened as a result of the switch from getdropbox.com to dropbox.com. the dropbox.com domain hadn't earned a positive reputation and thus a single user hosting malicious content resulted in the entire domain being blacklisted. we're working with google now to resolve this ASAP.
