Skipping 2000 Files?

    A client just informed me that a friend can’t view the website all of a sudden because Norton has blacklisted it as being “dangerous”, I don’t personally get this warning nor do most other people I’ve asked but when I scan it through Norton’s website it comes back with:

    Threat Report: small-caution
    Threats found: 1
    Threat Name: SWBPL
    Location: http://kingstonfibreartists.ca/~ordernow

    I can’t even find a file that is named ~ordernow… so I don’t know how Norton is finding it.

    I’ve run Anti-Malware about 5 times and it comes back completely clean although it says it has skipped 2100 files? Could the file causing the problem be in that 2100?

    My Anti-Malware plugin skips empty files and most binary file types (like images and language files) because they are not executed by the PHP compiler directly. It is not likely that those files contain anything malicious and they are certainly not causing the problem that you are having with this site. As you can see, if you navigate to http://kingstonfibreartists.ca/~ordernow you get a 404 so there is not threat there any more, even if there used to be one there.

    I’m not really sure why Norton has blacklisted you site with this very general SWBPL warning, but you can see that they marked it with “Annoyance factors: 1” here:

    You will need to claim ownership of the site and request that they review this threat to remove that warning.
