If you happen to visit valleyfair.com today you will see a notice indicating that the website may harm your computer. Internet Explorer and Firefox display these messages and so does Google's search results for Valley Fair:

and here is an image using Internet Explorer to view the warning message:

It is adviced to all to not visit the site unprotected and better yet, not visit it at all until the air has cleared. It is reported that the hack caused the website to load a virus through user's browsers and cause harm to the visitor's computers.

Stay tuned as more information develops on this news.

Uh yeah? I don't think Valleyfair would put a trojan downloader on their own site...

works fine on Chrome (obviously by Google)--i think that Google is not blocking it--it is Microsoft or Firefox

Cuz maybe its not hacked anymore? And, Google, if its not blocking it, is not up to par with FF or IE.
