VirtualDr site unsafe

[Brian Sheridan]

I am using Norton Internet Security 2009 and every time I go to VirtualDr the attached pop-up shows up. I know this must be a joke, but how do I get it to stop?

The site is listed because HijackThis logs are posted and Norton is picking up the names of malware in those. There is no real threat on the site. I just ignore those warnings. Norton doesn't actually block access to VirtualDr. Norton isn't the only anti-malware program that does this. I haven't bothered to investigate to see if there is a way to stop the warnings.

There surely has to be an exemption or white list?

I stay away from Norton as far as possible, so I can't have any proof, but I doubt, it could be reason.
Most computer help sites have malware section. Do they all are classified as unsafe?

Yeah Norton does that for me too, but I also chose to ignore it.

After all "ignorance is bliss" - LOL

Norton 2009 will classify any help forums with HijackThis logs posted as unsafe. It is at most a minor annoyance. The 2009 version of Norton bears no resemblance to previous versions. It is much less intrusive and does not hog system resources.

I'm sorry, but this is simply ridiculous, and unheard of from any other AV program.
How can serious security company classify simple text log file as possible danger?

Because of a url in the logs.
Yes it is a text file log, but when pasted into a post, the link is active.

I agree with your thoughts, but we have to concider the souce and forget about it.
