For the record, I had nothing to do with the site being blacklisted (false
accusations of convenience). What's odd is that in over a year I have never
seen a phishing warning... until arriving at a viral image of an anti-virus

"Mommy, what's that program with all the ugly widgets? It looks like a closed
version of ReactOS."

Best wishes,
