Just out of the blue I get this notice from Norton Anti-Virus Online about Seamless. I opened it and the image file is what occurred.

Hi Dajamma
I would not worry about it. If you trust Seamless3d not to be malicious software then there should not be a problem other than setting your virus checker to trust Seamless3d.
Some years ago someone told me another virus checker was giving out warning messages. I managed to rewrite some code in seamless that stoped these warnings but this was really an unnecessary fix as all I did was use a different function call that called the html browser from Seamless3d. I have decided since not to worry any more about fixing code like this as my time is limited and because the fixes do nothing productive other than stop these false warnings. One problem for Seamless3d is, it’s not very well known software but it has a record of being in use for over 10 years without it being reported as being malicious. Hopefully when seamless gets more popular these virus checkers will stop sending out alarm messages as they will know of it.
I am pleased that so far McAfee and AVG, two of the most popular virus checkers, always give the all clear for Seamless3d.

I just came across this site that shows lots of checkers that have given the all clear for Seamless3d:

It is a bit out dated but it shows seamless has a record of being safe.

kind wishes

That happens with a lot of open source stuff. Norton just killed my older install set for Open Office.

My advice, keep a copy on a flash or except seamless from Norton.
