Ah, so that's your goal. I suspected you weren't aiming to be helpful.
check your PM for reply, this is off topic. nice try at trolling though.
Please see bolded text.
good catch, one.
you can ask as many times as you want. this is not about me, it is about you and your website.
Fixed.
again, please see your PM, and reply to me there.
Nope.
now you are mocking me? breaking your own rules?
And the opinion of someone who's blatantly trying to stir up trouble is so valuable to the discussion...
LMAO. *saves this gem*
every site has it's pain(s) in the ahse to deal with... ingwhatever your name is, were you bottle fed or something ? why do you require so much attention ?
I think you should sleep on it. You might feel differently in the morning.
Relax, dude. This isn't the end of the world.
So you understand that the problem isn't with stratics, you understand that stratics is safe, and you simply just want to be banned? Explains a lot.
there was a problem being stuff put in here. Did stratics get sold and if so why is it once sold or traded did the problems all of a sudden start?Stratics is simply making use of a part of Windows IE, made by Microsoft.
That part of Windows IE was found to be flawed & vulnerable.
Norton reports that vulnerability to it's users like a good Security Program should. Better warned than unwarned.
That part of Windows IE has been fixed in IE versions after IE6.
Stratics was never the problem, Microsoft IE was.
Simple enough?
Sheesh...
The new advertisement obession Stratics has splattered all over it's site might use that part of IE that is tripping the Norton alerts.
Certainly, send me a pm with the previous 6 user names and I'll ban you for ban evasion.
This one isn't a 'security problem' as such though, Norton is known to sometimes flag sites incorrectly (they even have a page telling you what to do when they get it wrong, it isn't an uncommon event...) and everything else tried results in no problems being found with Stratics. The Norton alert warns that if you have an old, unpatched web browser there may be something linked from Stratics that can compromise your system. From everything I can find, trace or test, it's an invalid warning.
Norton has also flagged several hundreds, if not thousands, of websites in the past as being potentially dangerous. It gets things wrong sometimes. In this case, it seems to have got it wrong. It's not a case of 'trash talking' Norton - it has a long record of doing this sort of thing, which is one of several reasons why it has a fairly poor reputation with a lot of IT folks. Some things, it does fairly well - some things, it does very badly.
You see thats just it, I downloaded IE8 and applied the patch, it is still doin it!
By 'doing it' I guess you mean you are still getting the Norton warnings?
I'm using Norton Internet Security 2010. I don't get this message/warning. I've tried using Chrome, Firefox, and IE. Can't manage to make the warning appear.
I'll check when I get home. At the moment, I am using Mac, Safari, and whatever antivirus comes standard on Leopard. Still no warnings.
I'm using Norton Internet Security 2010 along with the Utilities and get it. I've tightened some of the settings which may be why my copy of it is sounding off when I come to Stratics. I traded some ease of use for added defense.
I'd rather they take a little time and get the update right than just throw out an update to show their quick at it, or maybe assume the report is not necessary because their have been fixes published for it.
I can imagine getting the calls from 12.000 computer users over Norton Alerts would make you have that opinion of it. You would be driven nuts by it.
Yeah, I've heard that. The reason that I chose Norton Internet Security 2010 is because it received top-tier reviews.
Of those, CNET is the only one not trying to directly sell the product and make money off the rankings. Still, after years of use, I am glad to finally be rid of Norton.
Would you please recommend some reputable review sites?
CNET seem confused. They give it 5 stars at the review you link to, which states "Reviewed by: CNET Staff on November 08, 2008" - but in the panel alongside for 'Quick Specs' it says "Date added: September 09, 2009 ".
The 4-star review summary says:
Strange. I'm using Norton and it hasn't flagged it since the last attack.
I looked to see if IE6 was still here.. Java does the same thing when it updates... but there is no sign of it anywhere.
Well then Petra.. your site still has a problem. My machine is less than a year old. I use IE8 and Windows Vista Home Edition. I also use a paid updated version of Norton. And yes I do patch them all the time. I have never had a problem.. but once before and after the Microsoft patch there was not problem. All of a sudden.. out of the blue.. after no patches from Mocrosoft or Norton (there were no patches between a few days ago and when I started getting the warnings) I get these warnings on both Norton and McAfee and with IE8 and Firefox. The only time I DON'T get the warning is in Chrome which leads me to believe that Chrome is possibly not catching stuff.
I run an update every day. I ALWAYS update even between the automatics. There were no updates between the time I started to get the warnings.
Something Stratics has added recently, likely something involving the advertisement obsession, is using a part of Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer that had or perhaps has been found to still have, a vulnerability. Norton is picking up on the use of that part of Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer and reporting a possible risk due to that part of Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer being used.Stratics is simply making use of a part of Windows IE, made by Microsoft.
That part of Windows IE was found to be flawed & vulnerable.
