Users using Norton software are unable to visit our site:

Norton has wrongly detected 2 software files as Trojan Horses.
These are false positives.
http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=phurix.co.uk
Threats found: 2
Here is a complete list:
Threat Name: Trojan Horse
Location: http://software.phurix.co.uk/ares2-101.exe
Threat Name: Trojan Horse
Location: http://software.phurix.co.uk/ares.zip
This is genuine software created by us at Phurix called “Ares”, which is software used to safely and security remove files from their computers. It poses no threat.
We have since removed these files anyway, however Norton has not updated to reflect this.
Users using Norton software are still unable to reach the site.
We recommend that users disable or uninstall Norton software until further notice.

Update 25/01/10
By submitting the files to Norton as a false positive, we were able to get them excluded from Norton products. This may take some time to update across all software on all platforms.
