    Hi! Recently, the Interesting DOS programs - Full Index web site started reporting a Dangerous Web Site error from Avast. It didn't do it before, and I don't think I updated Avast. Any word on what's causing this, or how to get around it? BTW, the first time, I had it stopped blocking one part of the page, and then, it blocked another--an icon.

    Good to see an old site still serving the goods after so long - yes, it might pick up 'bad' reports from time to time but they're usually from sites wanting you to buy their 'security' software.

    Avast! updates Avast! and it doesn't always get it right, or maybe their sources got it wrong. It seems like the cert. for the site was updated (but not renewed?) recently so some security sites are downgrading it as if it were a 'new' site without any 'safe' history attached.

    I've tried it with 5x browsers and none complained.
