While I was revisiting this website to check for new messages, it appears there was a pop-up from Norton that tells us this is a dangerous site. How could Norton flag this as dangerous? There is nothing very wrong with NeoRHDN as far as I could tell. Isn't there anybody who can convince Norton that there was no damage done?

It could be because NeoRHDN is a recently registered domain name, or ita domain name is similar to romhacking.net

No reports on my end and i'm using ublock origin and ghostery through firefox. It all reads 0. Usually when i go to a site and there's something wrong with it, it'll tell me right away it's bad and prevent me from visiting it unless i approve it and the only time i ever did click yes anyway, I got a virus. I'm not getting any bad readings here.

Norton and other crappy antivirus programs tend to use "heuristics" to "auto detect" viruses or untrustworthy sites or whatever bogus they can scare you with. TBH if NeoROMhacking.net was gonna steal your wife and eat your dog, it would have done so by now. I concur with NinCollin, it's probably just because it's a new site.

Another user reports Virus Total blacklisting the site in this other thread: Site showing up as URL Blacklisted...

As I remember it, when ROMhacking.net had problems with browsers marking the site as unsafe, they changed it so the downloads required either logging in or entering a simple captcha (entering the letters and numbers shown in an image). This prevented the scanners from accessing the downloads.

Does Norton STILL see NeoRHDN as a dangerous website? Well, that was very weak in the upper story. Until they see the error of their ways, I'm liable to keep using my mobile phone for this site. But no need to excite yourself over this--I'll be in touch.

I'm gonna be that person and say 'you really don't need third-party AV in this day and age'.

Windows Security and uBlock Origin in your browser of choice. That's literally it these days. If it was before 2019 or something then I might think otherwise.

I mostly just run that nowadays, plus some more protection just in case. Simple but effective.

Also, I've heard some... really shady things about Norton as of late, so I would never trust Norton, even if it's the only thing you'd have.

A lot of third-party AV solutions went down that route once Secure Boot started showing that the vast majority of intrusions anymore, these days anyways, are exclusive in Outlook and your browser. And in-browser crap is mostly scamware crap. The amount of scams and otherwise social engineering jobs increased exponentially following the death of master boot record viruses.

If you can't put a virus on a machine, pretend to. People that know no better will believe it and they do. Especially if you attach flashing lights, loud sounds and Microsoft [tm] to the scam and tell them if they don't call x phone number that they lose everything they never backed up. Very simple, very effective.

That's the vast majority of my 'malware' jobs these days.

That lines up with a lot of things I've been told, honestly, and I'm glad I never went down that route. I'm cynical by nature, so this does not surprise me. It does sadden me that, to this day, many people still fall for the same ol' trap, even if it's literally all the third party AVs really have left, in terms of retaining any kind of relevancy.

Considering I deal with 'normal' people on a day-to-day basis...I can understand why they might. They have priorities outside of keeping track of how a computer works in their day-to-day, no different than a lot of people drive a car until it drops. We're different because we're largely comfortable with being able to go so far as use one to talk over a message forum with BBCode and HTML usage. I'd say 95% of my clientele would freeze up attempting to remember how to do any of that out of fear of breaking something or struggling to understand how to apply and remember what it is they're being told. It's why I'll always have a job and why the repair industry, in general, will never die.

No one person is going to understand algebra to zen completely so I have sympathy for people who have other things they excel at in life. The people that believe they know more when they clearly don't and...well...those are the people that have issues.

I might not be involved with people on a daily basis, but I have seen a lot of people in my almost-37 years, so I understand where you're coming from. People have enough things to be worried in their day to day, especially when it comes to work and finances, so being able to figure out things like how a computer operates would be kinda difficult to do.

That last part holds especially true. Even if we know a lot of things, there's still a lot of unknown left to discover. So we can't know truly everything.
