when viewing this page with Norton DNS:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=99822.msg798690#msg798690

i cannot see anything...i cant see the images...when i click on it...i get a alert from Norton DNS on trojan Iframe on the site...when i bypass the warning...even avast blocked the page alerting on Iframe trojan..

when Norton DNS is not present those images appear clearly and when i try enlarging it i dont get any alerts from avast! :huh:

I have tried other DNS servers but i dont get any issues...

strange!? anybody else see the same?

i have Norton DNS and can still see the page fully.

Same with me.

Update: Photobucket is blocked by Noton DNS

Found More: Norton blocked the site for one malicious file. And the file is a .gif
The gif file seems to be a well know virus https://www.virustotal.com/file/048377f33ca227ca5a9c6eeec0463780631a8342c691bf7715c858bf2d010135/analysis/1340620980/

They might give you a response, not like I can help, but they might be a bit of help.

Thank God! i am not alone! :shy: but the weird thing is...when in presence of norton DNS even avast blocks the page...but in absence of The DNS it doesnt and site comes back clean even on virustotal

Just set the Norton DNS to let you go through then restart your browser and access the site.

P.S. My Avast isn't going off so I'm not sure about that.

That's one of the problems with using these Security Vendor DNS services, if it detects malicious content, it's usually blocked. Similar to Norton SafeWeb.

1 Possible Solution:
- Register with Norton
- Go to https://manage.nortondns.com
- Under Web Content Filter BETA > Advanced Settings (see screenshot)
- Add site under Allowed Sites > Save any settings
- Download Norton DNS Client (required for WCFiltering)
