Norton "Safe Web" has taken a dislike to Bitbucket

The most recent Norton AV for Mac added "Safe Web" to Firefox on my Mac.

Safe Web has taken a dislike to Bitbucket, apparently, according to one commenter on the Safe Web report, because one account on Bitbucket had a Trojan uploaded into it.

Presumably it will get sorted in the next few days.

Added: It's very, very annoying. Even after I "click through" the Save Web warning page, it pops up a new warning for every new page I visit in Bitbucket!

"Safe Web," it says, "is annoying. Really annoying. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly annoying it is. ..."

Apologies to Douglas Adams.

Presumably you are a paying customer, so give the people responsible for Norton a piece of your (annoyed) mind!

Looks like it was taken off the "evil sites" list overnight.
