A lot of sites are getting flagged with this message now. A "this website may harm your computer" message doesn't have to be the end of the world though. There are web security solutions organizations can use to at least minimize the risk to their visitors. The trick for these organizations (like the adoption agency, in this case) is to fix the sites quickly before all traffic from visitors like yourself drops off a cliff.
Bob,
Trust me the COA would love it if I dropped off a cliff. They don't like it when I post about an adoption agency. It usually includes negative arguments about them as well.
