Just thought I'd let you guys know that Norton reported Csounds.com as a
malicious website. Here is a link to the report. Hopefully the link works.
Just thought I'd report this to somebody on here even though I know or a
fact the website won't harm my computer.

Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to include the platform and and browser. I'm on
windows 8 using Internet Explorer.

This is very old and has already been dealt with in the Csound code.

It appears Norton is flagging the actual software in the downloads page, not csounds.com the site.

Thank you for the heads up John,

Can you give us more information on what platform and browser is causing this warning?

As one of the new co-administrators, I've tested the site on Safari, Chrome and Firefox and there has been no problems on my OSX machine.

Can someone with a Windows machine re-create this problem?

I've scanned through the generated .html source for csounds.com and csounds.com/download and all the links seem to point to the right places and the downloads are legitimate. 

No unwanted scripts on the page either. 

Csounds.com is verified by google, no problems there either as of now.

I've looked through the norton report and it says there are two threats

1. 

A fake AV request

       Description

       This signature detects a fake antivirus scan page that displays false virus scan results.

To recreate this problem I expect to see a popup with a fake virus scanner? I don't see this on any of my browsers. But again I'm on OSX

2. 

Malicious Domain request

      Description

This signature detects a request to specific domains which characteristically has been known to host malicious exploits and executable files.

The course of action that norton recommends is that you use their product to scan your computer.

Unless the problem can be recreated we will have to report this as a false positive to norton.

mr. norton hasn't heard any music he likes after brahms
DSP is too much like KGB
convolution sounds like it's not family friendly
if god had wanted people to make electronic music he would have given them  
oscillators instead of vocal chords
advanced mathetmatics is indistiguishable from madness

add yer own snarky comment!
