Today in firefox while surfing the internet, I opened a website it asked "This site may harm your computer" if you want to open this website add it in exception list. I added a website under exception list and trust this website.

After that situation, whenever I opend this website, it always points toward the localhost untill internet connected. I have setup localhost through apache (xampp server).

If internet not connected this website do not open anything but localhost still work as usaual.

How can I remove this situation so that this website do not point to locathost?

I am using winxp sp3. Same problem now appear in all browsers too.
