Hi Garvo,

This is the first time ever it happened and hence I thought I should bring this to your attention.

I have NORTON 360 on one of my computers and today at around 12 PM when I was on the website and clicked the refreshed button on my browser, I suddenly see this notice from Norton 360 dubbing the page as a 'Fraudulent web page' and blocked the access.

It also mentioned as http;//canadiandesi.ca/forum.php as a known phishing web page and mentioned that viewing this web page could make you vulnerable to criminal activity.

While I believe this MUST be a mistake by NORTON 360 (as it never happened earlier) I would request you to do some investigation. The thread I was at that point of time was http://canadiandesi.ca/read.php?TID=23904

Please post your findings.

Thanks

Thats really strange since I have been using Norton 360 all the time and haven't had this problem. It will be interesting to investigate though...to know the reasons. There have been occassions where we get emails from friends tagged as ***spam*** though they are already one of our contacts - this looks like a similar bug..

It is possible that it was an ad on that page that triggered the warning and not that page/thread itself.
I don't see anything different in that discussion thread.
The ads at the top though keep changing all the time.
It's possible that one of the ads points to a site that's identified as phishing site or some text in the ad might have triggered the warning.

I do not have any problem, not even on the page Pramodji posted. I use 360 since last 6 months. Never had any problems. May be there was an ad on the page that time.
