Simviation is a completely safe website. I have however had 3 other reports about this file in the past days although it's been there for nearly 10 years.

I have scanned the mentioned file (Cessna152.zip) with Norton

However I am deleting the mentioned file as for whatever reason Norton is seeing it as some kind of threat.

An old file and it will not be missed I am sure.

I have also started a case with Norton about this because sometimes a warning will label a website as unsafe in general and this is unfair and simply inaccurate. They are investigating.I can assure you simviation.com is a safe and reliable website and we maintain the highest standards at all times.

Feedback is much appreciated.

I can remember, many years ago, it took the headache and inconvenience of having to completely Format my Hard Drive at the time, to remove all traces of the Dreaded Norton, Payware, Gimme loads of money, Program, after it got itself automatically installed into my computer system!
It firmly refused to be uninstalled or deleted, and only a complete Format of my hard Drive (and the loss of everything) was necessary to completely remove it, and all its annoying bits and pieces, and return my life back to normal!

Having spoken with Norton today they were a bit strange and the verification process simply did not work. Very keen on getting me to sign up to a 'norton safe' deal for websites ....... Part of me is thinking you know what ...... (pay $$)
Anyway they say they themselves cannot see anything at all wrong on running a test. A case has been opened and they say it will take about a week to conclude. Let's see!

Meanwhile -- test with any other site test and you will find
