Yes it is Symantec software, the problem is that I do not have our account or support details. This is handled by head office in the states and they haven’t responded with the info yet.
I’m trying to find out if its a Symantec problem, or something on the server causing it.
Its also quite interesting trying to understand and pick through the code ![:-)]()
This is a piece of code from getThreatCon.php.
If I manually paste the url into a browser I can download the zip file, I’ve also tried unzipping it into the temp dir to see if it brings up the threat status, but it doesn’t.
