Hi Barry,

Nope I just went to the webgains homepage, didn't even get to log in

Earlier it was pulling a javascript induced iframe - but now its affiliate not authorised page.

It sounds innocent in all honesty and nothing to do with any ill intent from webgains - more an over-reaction of Norton to secondary iframes.

Although I cant tell as I cant replicate it.

To add I also cant find no-credit-checking-loans . co .uk on WG so I would see if WG know anything about it in the morning.

Let me know if you get any similar warning on different websites. Could even be a rouge affiliate with a dodgy browser add-on ??

Hi,
this is norton being overzealous with their listings. It's certainly not a harmful link that the merchant has provided. Our developers have contacted Norton to amend this listing, as it's obviously mistaken

thanks

An aside I'm afraid... What does Norton think of the verified by via process?

was that a question directed at me or generally?

just to let everyone know, we have been in touch with Norton and the matter has been clarified so the warning has been removed. They do tend to get overzealous with their ratings, so a few explanations on the system and the industry were all that was needed

thanks
