FYI -- Norton has been blocking this intrusion when I visit c-brats.com. It happens on first visit each day for the last two or three days. This is the detail report from Norton (I cut out references to my own IP address, etc.):

I don't understand everything I know about this stuff, and I am sure Bill will be around with explanations (he is away from home right now).

I do know that tugnuts.com is nothing to fear. It is the Ranger Tug owner's forum and is managed by Bill. It is on the same server as C-Brats.com and is linked from our front page (lower left corner) and we are similarly linked from there.

Thanks for the reply. I don't really know what it means, either. Just thought it best to let someone know.

Malware (malicious software) is a type of program, including viruses, worms, trojan horses, etc., that do unwanted things with/to your computer or data. Think of it as someone living in your house without your knowledge or consent, perhaps using your wallet, impersonating you, or holding parties for other like-minded friends.

Scanned this website using Norton's Malware, Google Diagnostics, Wepawet, and a few others; no malware was found.

Regardless, if enough people get that false warning, some will shy away from visiting. Have others who use Norton been getting this error, or was this an isolated incident?

"Intrusion attempt by Tugnuts.com" - Tugnuts is another Da Nag website for Ranger Tugs, not sure what Norton is saying, unlikely "malware." Get a Mac and don't worry about this crap.

Obviously, Peter Norton is a fan of Nordic Tugs.

As others have alluded to, it's a bogus alert. Nothing we can do to prevent it - it's a bug on Norton's end. Who knows if/when they'll fix it, but were I a Windows/Norton user I'd ignore and/or disable it.

To date, I've yet to see a legitimate web site alert from Norton reported here. Warnings generated by Chrome and Firefox however, have been accurate - here and elsewhere.

OK - thanks for confirming - I'll disable the alert.
