DB is coming up as unsafe

[Svpernova09]

Norton is refusing to verify I am the site owner despite putting they meta tag AND uploading their special file.


Not much I can do if they won't verify me.

I fixed a couple things. I'm still unable to verify I'm the site owner (at least to Norton I am) I scanned some of those URLs with http://www.avg.com.au/resources/web-page-scanner/ and AVG is saying there are no exploits. I'm unsure if AVG is scanning for the same thing Norton was, I'm unable to get Norton to rescan. I wasn't able to find a Kapersky scanning tool. I've been up for about 28 hours so I may just be missing something.

I think you can see why I dont have Norton or any anti viris running on my computer.

Just back up every week or so if you get infected you have a good copy.

You just gotta know when you got infected =p. It's not to bad if your keeping all the copies, but if your rolling through tapes your bound to overwrite something with a infected copy .

From what I've read about the exploits Norton was reporting, they're only going to affect you if you're using IE 6 / IE 7. Otherwise you're fine. Obviously it's still bad to have the exploits open, which is what I'm currently working on.

detection and backups are two separate things.
- the antivirus will help you detect (and clean if possible) that something is wrong
- the backups will help you restore after any damage happened


if you only have an anti-virus and no backup, you will lose stuff if a virus goes through the AV checks.
if you only have a backup system, you could be losing stuff as we speak, without knowing. or you could be hosting an army of trojans etc.
For all you know, your backups could be infected. As was mentioned above, if you didn't keep all your backups, chances are you won't be able to find one not infected

Best is to have both. But in any case AV > Backup.

NSS Lab tests would disagree...

Funny. No security test on these sites ever mentions adblock or noscript addons, which I would guess would bump firefox (and chrome?) up to something like 99%.
