hey all....
i've heard in the past, and someone just emailed me today, that some security software is giving warnings about a possible virus on this site. more specifically, the warning is being triggered by the host, bizhat concerning a "heuristic" virus.
first: THERE'S NO VIRUS HERE
second: i googled 'heuristic virus' and discovered this yahoo.com link:
yahoo questions
the first answer is the short one, the second answer goes to a wikipedia article.
bottom line, it appears to be a false-positive created by an over-zealous scanner. _________________ Chris

With many of the anti-virus systems, it is possible to designate unusual settings that will sometimes make it appear as if there is a threat when there is none. My security system is quite advanced, and it does not see any threat here. ... Roger |
