Norton Safe Web says all of Comic Genesis has a warning trojan virus? http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?u ... sis.com%2F

Somone viewing my subjecttochange comic alerted me that something is warning them about trojans when trying to view *any* comicgenesis page....

The Norton report has two specific comics listed. The first appears to have a dodgy message board that someone has loaded a drive-by-download onto and the other does not appear to have anything on it. It could be something in the Ad rotation that has set it off.

I just got an email from my Dad that his copy of Norton sounded an alert when he looked at my comic today-- http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com

(I remember I had a fan write in a couple of months ago, also complaining that he got a virus alert, and I mentioned it on the Help Forum back then.)

Um, help?

A visitor to my comic tells me s/he just had the same thing happen; an "antivirus" offer, complete with infected download.

It's happening again... Redwolf, time to get the Brain Bleach and scrub out a couple of sub-domains.

Status report post would be appreciated.

And yet again - this has been popping for a while, but since Sandusky is on Hiatus I haven't worried... I'll bet you got hit in a drive-by of a bad ad.

Someone send smoke signals when it's all clear. --<< Bruce >>--

FIXED. Yanno Redwolf, you really need to make a simple page for us to report Trojans, Viruses, Bad Ads and other stuff like this, then you can get out the Clue-By-Four once a day and kill Eight (or more) In One Blow...

The problem isn't going away any time soon.
