"Dave's Cut and Fold" site hacked?

Does anyone know what has happened to Dave Winfield's paper model site?
My Norton Antivirus blocks it and calls it "very dangerous." Has he been hacked?

No he hasn't been hacked

It is showing a none secure site, like the forum is.
Maybe Norton is a bit over protective

My site (and countless others) have always been on Norton's report list.
For years now.
I have made my own report, asked for the site to be reviewed and de-blocked,
but no action or response from Norton.

It is specifically a "phishing" site report...but its an automated system that responds to unconfirmed information.
And the problem is, once someone/something submits reports to Norton, it sticks....you get put on their block list, and thats it.

The page that is blocked is literally a single page "website"...it provides banner image links to my four different websites,
giving my visitors an option to choose the specific website they want to visit.
There is absolutely nothing else at this site!...not even a web counter or visitor tracker.

I can only remind everyone to "allow" and "unblock" the site in Norton when trying to visit.
Usually you have the option of "continue to site anyway".
Once you unblock at your end, you won't have trouble getting there.

if you are a Norton user, please...go to Norton and file a review and/or report to make Norton review the site again.
https://safeweb.norton.com/report/sh...utandfold.info

I've also registered with Norton, and added Norton's safeweb meta tags to the html of my websites.
Hopefully Norton will scan the sites and see their own safeweb details.
I can't do any more.

..............
If you are trying to get to Dave's Card Creations (the only site of mine that does not have its own domain name) try this direct link:
Dave's Card Creations Home
..............

I used Norton antivirus years ago and hated it.
To be honest I have never liked or trusted Norton's system. Its bloated and too controlling.
And obviously does not operate on legitimate reporting.

I feel the same way about Mcafee. Plus the fact no laptop that I've ever had that came with Mcafee installed has run until I remove it.
