	I have no problem at all. I use Google Chrome and BullGuard for antivirus protection!

	I use Google Chrome and Norton 360 Premier and have never had this message ever before. I use the WxInspector occasionally, but use geometry on my computer screen more frequently. I do not know how to check on the safety of WxInspector. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Rod - I will draw Markku's attention to this... BUT I believe I can throw some light on this. As you know, Sailonline NavSim AB when it was formed "moved" the Sailonline server from a small stand-alone one in Sweden to a larger one in Germany run by a company called Hetzner. Its a server "farm". Early on we had problems with some of our emails being blocked as malicious etc and investigation showed that a former tenant on the server Sailonline NavSim AB had been allocated had been a"baddie". Our Tech Team worked on the matter, providing relevant IDs etc to Microsoft and the world and, as far as I know the matter was fixed. This is either a hangover "blacklist" from those days (2013) OR its something new. Either way, I am sure out Tech Team will let us know! P.S. WX Inspector was established on hmm's server (which lives with the Sailonline one at Hetzner) just before Aaron died... but it may be that it doesn't have up to date certificates as WX Inspector was created in 2012 or so. _________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2016-06-09 17:54:14 ---

	Sounds like a false positive for Symantec. The site has remained the same for 4 years, possible past history of the IP has nothing to do with this.

	Attn hmm.... Has anything been done about this problem with WxInspector? I am still getting the same message from Symantec/Norton about this problem. I wrote to them on their 'Contact' facility but have had no reply. The way I read their site statements, the owner of the site is the one who must complain if anything is to be done.... --- Last Edited by Rod at 2016-06-21 20:42:54 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
