GL: Charts Again

Hi Folks,

I just got updated on the virus situation by some MIT propeller-head  
friends in Boston who reviewed the Forum thread and our website page- 
by-page.

They say that a few applications (AVAST was noted) have very high  
"filters of suspicion." Most applications (ESET, AVG, and Kaspersky  
were noted) have slightly less paranoid filters. And of course, some  
(no names mentioned) are not paranoid enough!    [smile]

Turns out we use iframes on some of our web pages and iframes  
(containing links, especially with a hidden attribute) are one way a  
hacker could compromise a site and load a bomb.

So, if some checkers see an iframe with a link, they flag the web page  
or entire site as suspicious.

No problem with that on our end. It's always better to be safe than  
sorry!

So we'll re-work those iframe links over the next couple of days so  
some people's virus checkers don't go off unnecessarily.

Again, we're really sorry for any hassles this may have caused anyone.

Please let Diana or I know (off-list) if you wanted anything from our  
site and we'll email you a voucher code for 50% off.

Again, really sorry about all of this.

Best,

Mark
