    Does anyone know of MetroNet is still a thing?

    MetroNet is quiet but it's still up and running.

    Something must have got between your app and the net.

    It's run by Exodus who you can find here about.

    I grabbed the info file and emailed it to you. When I was filling it out, I remembered that I uploaded it to your system. Maybe it did not transfer ok

    HAHAHAHA ... That's crazy. It's all hosted from GitHub, so you can look at all the source for the website, there is nothing bad going on there. Stupid antivirus crap.

    If you have *any* older dos programs available for download that were either (1) compressed with PKLITE or similar, or (2) written with any type of anti-hack code included (i.e. shareware doors), and one of those web
    crawler sites finds it, they will black flag your IPA.

    Malwarebytes is bad about this. They use a bunch of sources and, if your
    IPA is flagged by just one of them, you are going to be blocked. They supposedly have a way that you can contact them and get your site
    whitelisted, but my attempt to do so a couple of years ago made it very apparent that you need to be a *paying customer* of theirs in order for
    them to do anything about it.

    I used to allow any web surfer to surf by and download old DOS programs
    but, after dealing with that, I had to set my file areas up to no longer
    allow guest access.

    Interesting. There is only software I wrote on there. Plus the included NetFOSS by PCMicro included in the Renegade BBS archive. NetSpy from NetFOSS throws a flag as a virus everytime. Maybe thats the cause.

    This is the first I've ever heard of someone that can't get to the website.
