Downloaded Boinc - now browsing project websites before choosing to attach. Keep getting a warning about collatz.

Is this a known problem? Can I safely ignore it and proceed?

Is there another url (using this one: http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz/ )

Thanks.

What kind of warning, by what exactly?

Thanks for replying Ageless.

This warning (from Symantec / norton) browsing with Firefox:

Dangerous Website Blocked

You attempted to access:

http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz/

This is a known dangerous website. It is recommended that you do NOT visit this site.

Just tried same url in google chrome. No warning and no problem accessing site.

Apologies for troubling you.

Is there anything to be gained in me reporting it as a false positive to Norton?


edit: having now read the news on collatz's home page, might be a hangover from issues with the SSL certificate (now resolved with google - but lagging behind elsewhere?)

Apologies for troubling you.

You're not troubling me. :-)
No, now my Windows system has been troubling me for three days now with lost context handlers, but that aside. ;-)

Is there anything to be gained in me reporting it as a false positive to Norton?

Other than that they can fix it, I don't think so.

But it could be some script running on the Collatz page that your browser/AV balks on. Consider running the NoScript add-on, if you aren't already. That blocks all scripts from running by default, until you allow them.

Equally, on my hunt here for the missing context handlers, one of the programs I used (Autoruns) declared BOINCMGR.exe a threat and demanded I removed it from my system. LOL.

Edit: Or it could be the SSL certificate replacement, yes.
