Thanks AplusWebMaster,

I was able to get to the site with no problem.
I guess their countermeasures are working.... for now.

They are doing a great job keeping the site running. I was using it the whole day and I wouldn't have even noticed had it not been for the announcement.
Being such a threat to malware creators it's no wonder that they are trying to take it down, I would take it as a compliment (almost tongue.gif)

Keep it up castlecops!
