Ugly Firefox warning
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2009 7:27 pm
This is probably a wasted effort, as potential users who saw this warning most likely left dplot.com as quickly as possible, while old users would hopefully know better. But in case I'm wrong, for the last few days newer versions of Firefox have shown this horribly scary warning for most downloads from dplot.com:
For several years I've been very happy to use FileKicker as the host of my large files. Great service and faster downloads for you. And I am absolutely certain that downloading any DPlot files from FileKicker has always been safe. But apparently FileKicker sometime in the recent past hosted some other file having nothing to do with DPlot that raised a big ugly red flag, though I cannot be sure of the cause of this warning. I've switched providers for my large files to swmirror.com now, so this warning screen is in the past. I thought I should mention this here in case you saw this screen and would like some assurance that all is well: Download links from dplot.com are perfectly safe and always have been.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Licensed users who bought DPlot prior to version 2.2.7.6 but have not downloaded yet: Your download link will no longer work. If this applies to you please contact me at support@dplot.com and I'll send a new link.
