It has come to my attention that some anti-virus/web security programs have tagged the Funky16Corners blog as a site harboring malware.

I looked into this (via Symantec/Norton which we subscribe to) and what is happening is that another site that uses Lunarpages (the company where I pay for server space) does indeed harbor malware. In their infinite wisdom, Symantec/Norton has flagged all of lunarpages.net as hostile, so whenever you come to ANY site on their servers, you get the error message.

I tried to contact Norton about this but their system requires placing a confirmation file at the root of the server, which I cannot do. I contacted Lunarpages and submitted a support ticket with the address of the offending site. This site is in no way related to Funky16Corners, nor are you in any danger coming to this (my) page.

I apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced as a result of Norton’s f*ck up, but I’ve done what I can do.

Thanks

Larry

   Thank you for the warnings and vigilance Larry. And thanks for the ‘sound’ education with the depth of your research, it makes for a richer listening experience. Cheers from Adelaide

   Seems that Symantec may have a bit of an anti-funk bias. Continue to speak truth to power!
