Hello All,

I few of our clients are reporting that their antivirus software is blocking our site (www.riggingforrescue.com). I have spoken with our ISP and site host, Norton antivirus, and McAfee antivirus, and none can find anythings wrong, yet the problem persists.

After speaking briefly with a consultant, he says that "After looking at this error I’m pretty sure that this is being caused a line or lines of code in your website that is triggering a false positive in some antivirus programs."

Attached is a screen shot showing what the clients are seeing.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Chris

Hiya Chris,

I went through your whole site including blogs and I get no warnings or errors at all, all looks fine to me.
I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, PC Tools Internet Security

I will say it again. Anti-virus programs are a SCAM!

Many of these programs use automated tools where users can submit sites as possible threats and 99% of the time, they never try and verify if they are indeed a threat. I will bet that your IP address is in a block associated with other bad sites and you are a casualty of war.

About all you can do is contact these anti-virus programs through their support channels and disupte the alert.

We have have dealt with the same issue many times here as well. It sucks.

Are you setting cookies on clients computers. A site has to present a viable download threat you would think. I use Avast and it trys to block some questionable sites. I have never investigated why these sites get blocked but cookies are the possibility I think. I always wondered what could be done with these and what influence they could have. I know they store browsing data but maybe they have a sinister side.
Probably just speculation. What do I know

From Uk using firefox most of your pages are loading exceptionally slowly, I guess shared hosting like most of us are on, but seldom do i see things made in VSD load this slowly

Your blog :: http://www.riggingforrescue.blogspot.com/ possibly is being recognised as going to a different server.

Have you considered loading this to your free sdrive acount, and using sdrive stream for your blog, so it is all hosted in one place, i think it will all load faster, and possibly get rid of a problem if what is occuring is as a result of another website on the same shared hosting (NOT YOURS)

Just a thought !!!
