Nope. That was not detected as a malicious Web site. I also tried configuring AVG's Search-Shield for SeaMonkey the same way that AVG's E-mail Scanner is configured for Thunderbird. This involved editing file xpti.dat in my SeaMonkey profile despite the fact that the file warns users not to edit it. That did not cause Search-Shield to appear as a SeaMonkey add-on. I'm going to dump this back into AVG's lap. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
