Thanks, Jim, especially since I posted in the wrong forum. A nasty zombie of your client's! But I think in this case it may have been the 500-year-old flesh-colored cobbles in yesterday's picture... And FortiGuard have re-categorized the site now.

Subject: Re: [dba-VB] FortiGuard? Hi John: Some sites have got Black-listed because other sites have been spoofing their web addresses. There is also some other reasons. Had a client a few weeks back that had a very sophisticated Zombie embedded in their site that was used to re-direct, publish and pipeline remote spam through it. It was not until their ISP started blocking them did they become aware something was wrong. The program actually erased all related log data so nothing was alerting them before. We subsequently discovered that this is a very common practice.

Subject: [dba-VB] FortiGuard? Do any of you use FortiGuard's web filtering service? With what results? I ask because they have classified this web site as Pornography: http://www.littlemoretonsingers.org.uk/ Go on, take a look, unless the occasional bare ankle offends you! But be quick - I've already complained, and they may re-classify it.
