Your correct its not inline with the guidelines and has nothing to do with Web Standards what so ever. Why did you post it if you knew that it was against the standards?

Hi Guys, Firstly I do apologise if this posting is not in line with this list's guidelines. I'm struggling with a problem and hope that you can give me some advice; This is my problem story: My client's website is rather busy with 30,000+ unique visitors each month. There are a few feedback/contact forms, forums, surveys, competitions, etc in use on this php/mySql driven site as well as an on-line shop and numerous (mySql) database generated pages. We have about 12 databases running currently, containing many, many Mb's of data.. Subsequently I'm "paranoid" regarding the security aspects such as hacking etc Next to the obvious security measures I have added some extra security by encrypting the source code of several pages "on the fly" using a very handy php include file. Up to recently this has worked beautifully but since several months we are getting complains from McAfee anti-virus users as this software is incorrectly interpreting the source-code encryption as a Trojan(!) on the site. I noticed that also Kaspersky Anti-Virus has this problem however this software offers at least a "this site is ok" button option. I have contacted McAfee who suggested that I would email them the php include file so that they could patch their software. This is now months ago and nothing has changed. Now they also stopped communicating with me, making me think that the patching of the software is not going to happen.. I do however not want to remove the encryption or do anything else that would mean reducing the level of security on the site. Now my questions to you: a) Is there a way to detect which anti-virus software is used by a site visitor so that I can create a auto-generated message for just McAfee users that they do not need to worry about the false Trojan warning? b) Do you have any suggestions for me as how otherwise to very securely protect/encrypt source code?
