Did Google get overzealous about a attachment here? Or is somebody trolling VOGONS?

Same with yandex, "Potentially dangerous website"
Yep,
this time it was this:
Simcity 2000 under Windows 7
Somehow somebody or some scanner is flagging game patches or files made with a specific compiler as harmful.
This might be bad for a site like VOGONS..

How to ask questions the smart way!
Putting downloads under a captcha might be the easiest way around it.
Just FYI, several hours ago Firefox started to block media on vogons including avatars and attachments due to "phishing".

Are you sure you want to download this file (Y/N)?
I don't it.
What exactly causes these "scanners" to just flag something as malicious? It doesn't use msvcrt? It doesn't use Microsofts stringent (and frankly superfluous) specifications of having a XML attached to basically tell the OS what this program is and what it's privileges need to be? Is it because compression of some sort is used? Self modifying code?
These are one of the many reasons I don't run anti viruses, atleast actively resident ones.

I'm surprised vogons drivers hasn't been flagged for the monster sound mx300 drivers yet.
