Hello Gian,
Thank you for your kind reply. I've been unable to download Orologi
Solari onto either of my PCs, one using Windows XP, the other Windows
7. Either the download is blocked, or the download is successful but
immediately discarded.
However, the program is available on the NASS Repository Disc and
I'll use that source.
My thanks to all who offered advice.

Maybe I am not the one who should give an answer, being the author of the
program and the owner of the web site.
Anyway I can say that I have not noticed any problem recently in my web site
nor in my program.
I usually work on two different computers that are both protected by suitable
antivirus products.
Of course my web site could have been violated without my knowledge.
However my site gets more than thirty visits a day and this is the first
warning I get.
I had a similar problem in the past in my office computer.
The company where I work (an Italian electronics company) protects internet
connections by means of the Astaro service.
This is a very severe control.
Not only dangerous sites are blocked, also social network sites, webmail sites
and any not well defined sites are too.
Orologi Solari is hosted on digilander.it dominium that is a freeware hosting
site.
It happened in the past that digilander.it was included in a black list so
that I could not reach it from my office (i received warnings similar to what
you describe).
But I had no problems when accessing the site from my personal computers nor I
received any warnings from OS users.
I guess some site that is hosted by digilander.it was found being dangerous
and so all the digilander.it dominium was deemed to be infected by security
programs such as Astaro or Norton because of just one hosted site.
But this happened in the past, now I do not have any problems from my office
nor from my personal home computers.
This is what I can tell you.
I hope someone else will tell us his own experience.
And I hope this will not refrain you from using Orologi Solari !
Greetings.
Gian Casalegno

I recently tried to download the program Orologi Solari and got the
announcement "Malicious Web Site Blocked" (from Norton), which went
on to detail 7 threats to my computer.
Has this happened to others? Is the web site and/or the program safe
to download and use?
Thanks,
Mac Oglesby
