Follow-Up to The "Problem" With The Blog Late Last Week

Late last week I received a note from two trusted readers that their anti-viral program had "alerted" on the "MillionDollarWay" blog as a "fraudulent site." I spent the weekend trying to sort out the problem; a lot of wasted time, but in the end, everything is back to normal.

The "blog" was never a problem, and I didn't change anything. Taking it offline for a short period of time, and then bringing it back up, was about all I did.

Today, the Bismarck Tribune posted a short note suggesting a very similar experience; click here for the story.

The timing is such that the dots may connect. It's very possible that anti-viral programs are so good these days that when they search a site, they also check the linked articles. I link to the Bismarck Tribune not less than five times a week in an average week. It is very possible that the anti-viral links were picking up something at the linked articles.

I don't know. The issue with my blog and the issue with the Bismarck Tribune could be entirely unrelated but the timing is such it's very, very coincidental, if not related.

A bit "thank you" to Don for alerting me to the story, and a big "thank you" for the Bismarck Tribune to post the story.
