My blog has been tagged as Dangerous by Norton, is this the what wargame blogs and forums are going to become subject to?
I have put the Norton warning screenshot up on the blog.

I have gone back to Norton... paid for it. 'New' 4 yr old pc had Macaffee trial, But REALLY hated it! Blocking just about all I wanted to look at... wargaming sites!
I ran Bull Guard for years which was excellent. Unfortunately it was taken over by Norton recently and wargaming sites I have used for years are now coming up as dangerous. I also have a small lap top I bought to use when travelling, which came with a year of Mcafee on it. In Australia in the New Year, notwithstanding my account was shown as active until November 2023, and I had emails confirming it, McAfee kept telling me via a notice on start-up that my subscription had expired and invited me to renew in Australian dollars. I just ignored it but it was bloody annoying. No such notice appears in UK.
Not that this helps much but a quick check via two separate browsers, confirmed its done by Norton's browser extensions that a user can choose to install or not in addition to the full firewall/antivirus Norton security suite.
I am finding that their "safe search" is a major pain anyway as it gives poor results compared to google. Sounds like their appeal process is also part automated with limited intelligence applied. I tried submitting a "this is ok" user review but it rejected it!!
I used to have a similar problem browsing for miniatures made by Old Glory. Even chrome didn't like that for a while.
So when AI takes over it wont be Terminator style but a complete SNAFU everywhere
Dave, interesting and thanks.
