The Firefox and Chrome browsers use a service to list known malicious
sites. I assume IE does too but I never use IE. I would trust the
internal messages that originate from these two browsers but I would put
the Webutation warning in the same category as those pop-up windows that
say your computer has been infected by viruses i.e., scarey sales pitches.

OTOH, I registered my website with the Norton SafeWeb site. It's
supposed to take a could of weeks for them to check it out. Actually,
it's kind of a dirty trick to use a site in this way. My guess is that
the cookinghawaiianstyle would be quite upset to find out that this was
happening. I sure would be.

That's a good idea. I should have thought of it. Heck I like to put
coconut in things. I have a bag of NOH haupia mix that's mostly sugar,
powdered coconut, and cornstarch, that I've added to waffle and pancakes
and baked goods - it's pretty spiffy stuff.
