Dropbox flagged as unsafe by IE

It's an interesting problem, should the site be flagged because you can host viruses and such on the public folders even though the site and company itself is not malicious it's users might be.

I think that is treading down a slippery slope. Here, http://jsfiddle.net/a2zK5/ , I have used Imgur to host a bit of javascript; this could be a blob or anything for that matter but this is only an example. It's not Imgur's fault that this was uploaded, but if it got popular then the easiest thing to do would be to block all request to the site.

The real issue isn't what we don't allow/block, but what we do allow/let pass.

How would you go about fixing this vulnerability? Is MrGrim aware of it?
