Solved: Where to Report a Site With Virus or Trojans?
I sent a friend an email with a web address and he got word back to me that his security system said it had a Trojan and gave it to his computer. Needless to say he is not happy with me but how was I to know. I had opened the address and my security system didn't report anything. Is there a place to report a site address like this? It was some inspirational site so I don't think they would have deliberately set it up with a virus. But who knows.

Please send me the URL address of what you sent your friend, and I can tell pretty quickly whether it is legit or the friend's security was correct... can't have you post it in the public forum, so please Private Message that link back to me. Thank you. Byteman

Hi, I got your PM with the link and I checked it, seems fine to me. I use McAfee Site Advisor and some other security, nothing alerted about anything to do with the site. Site Advisor checks links on the site, downloads it may have, what it does....that site is all green for me so I would not worry about what that person told you. If you want, you can post that link here and others can check it as well. That's up to you.
