I looked at this site maybe a week ago with no problems, and tried to go back today but was interrupted by big red warnings against it. Are other people getting this message? Sure seems like a weird place to put malware, but I'm not going against the warnings of Firefox, AVG, Google and Spybot.
The lessons were really good, too. I wish I'd printed them or saved them offline somehow, because the examplar showed an idealized version of my current handwriting. I guess I'll check back in a few days.

If you are referring to this site, it is legitimate and I'd say nothing to worry about.
Must be malware from another source causing alerts on your system.

That's weird. I'm getting the same warnings from Google. However, when I click on Google's own malware "diagnostic page" for the site, I get this:
QUOTE
What happened when Google visited this site?
Google has not visited this site within the past 90 days. Suspicious activity was detected over 90 days ago, but no data is available for the past 90 days.
Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?
Over the past 90 days, briem.ismennt.is/ did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.
Has this site hosted malware?
No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.
How did this happen?
In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

I certainly visited this site less than 90 days ago and have felt no ill effects (although I'm on a Mac, so I'm not terribly concerned).
I made a PDF of many of the lessons; if I still have it I'll post it, as long as it's okay with the mods.

That is the one I was referring to, yes. I forgot to put up the url, sorry. I definitely don't think that it's a malicious site in itself, I was just thinking that maybe it got infected by something else.
I found the pdfs I made (I "printed" each webpage to pdf, then consolidated them). I hope this is okay to post here.

That's great, thanks a lot. Good foresight.
I've visited the site several times the past few weeks from computers at home and work
and never got any kind of warning.
Maybe my suite of security software isn't as good as I thought they were.
And thanks a lot, merzig for the compiled pdf's!

Happy to share.
Update: Google no longer lists this site as dangerous.
Not sure why they did in the first place.
Happy writing!

They probably crawled it when there was a spam post that hadn't been deleted right away.
