Is Mac vulnerable to malware? Urgent
I visit a satellite site frequently. aaafta.com However recently I get a pop up window before I can enter the site. It warns me that this site distributes malware and my mac is vulnerable to attack. This warning comes from google!
Is this legit? How serious is this? Is my mac safe? I'm using 10.5.5 Safari and Firefox both show the pop up.
I scanned my mac with Clamxav and no viruses were found.
aaafta.com is a free to air satellite download site. Are hackers trying to shut them down and scare users away?

all browsers can be vulnerable to drive by trojans, irrespective of platform.
funnily enough safari is probably the weakest out of the 3 main browsers.
I would stay far away from that satellite site as these warnings are legit and you could be in for a world of hurt.
