I have recently been getting an alert from Symantic that this is a dangerous website, and imposes a virus threat? Please check into this and contact
SYMANATIC to straighten things out. I've been downloading files for 15 years and now this!

Symantec. I don't correct spelling errors here, but this one is important, so, and respectfully, it's "SYMANTEC", otherwise known as Norton. I think this might be one for Pete.

This "problem" has been looked into. Believe me, the biggest problem is Norton.

Norton is WELL known for false positives.

Whatever recent change that they've made in their algorithm has this popping up over and over, again. But only with Norton.

No other AV program seems to find anything.

I gave up on Norton many, many years ago. I'm sorry if you've paid for Norton, but there are faster and better ones out there.
