Hi all, I just tried googling askmar. When I click on the google link it gives me a malware warning:
Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!

Yeah, my computer blocked a trojan or something when I was downloading the pdf's there. I wonder if there is some other place that could host all those documents? Askmar seems to be the best place for finding those polywell papers.

Hmm.. I've downloaded a lot of those pdfs and never gotten a warning from NOD32, up to date and with all modules enabled except email surveillance. It would be surprising for Google to be wrong on this.

It's possible that the infection is very recent.

PDFs are being blocked willy-nilly because of the Adobe scare. I wouldn't worry too much.

I'm e-mailing Mark about it now.
I'm not having any problem hitting it directly (askmar.com, not thru a Google search). My .pdf downloads run smoothly (maybe too smoothly ... might be my local temporary files cache and not really downloads). I'm running Norton Internet Security, set pretty tight.

Mark says he's working the problem.

Neither Mark nor I could see the original problem with our browsers, but a Google tool he tried was spotting problems. He believes it is now fixed, but the best test would be for you guys to try it and see if the problem recurs.

Google got rid of it's little warning flag, as far as I can see. And I didn't get any firewall action either. Looks good.
