I cannot browse openrcforums.com from any of our computers that are protected by Trend Micro Worry Free Business Security. It is being identified as a "Malicious Site". I had to jump on a Linux box just to post this...

Curious.

They have provably decided we have so many hex files and code samples!

You are probably right Rob.. I wonder if we have some infected files floating around on the site?

Thanks Rob. Hopefully you can get this resolved. Trend Micro is doing their customers a great disservice by denying access to the information that you and others disseminate via this site.

It could also be flagged as such due to your redirection thingies added after the name changes. These "security" companies sometimes hate that kind of things due to the possibility of redirecting someone to a malicious site.
