Question - are both of you typing in "my.pogoplug.com" specifically? Norton seems to be identifying it as "service.pogoplug.com" which does link you to the service, but isn't the link one would normally use.

I didn't know that there was an other log-in site, I was only aware of my.pogoplug.com.

Thanks folks - it appears that some shares from some users are flagging Norton's auto-detect for a warning. We are looking into it now and working on a solution.

My Norton 360 ver4.0 shows a blocking warning for pogo inside the home network telling: HTTP Suspicious executable image download
Why?

@stb - that image is likely to be on one of your attached hard drives - does Norton tell you which file it's talking about?

@GreenTapir - likely to be a similar issue - as your files appear to be on the website, it's likely that McAfee is tagging them as a threat. Does it give you a list of the threats on my.pogoplug.com?

Unlike Norton's SafeWeb, there doesn't appear to be an easy way to see what you're seeing. I've tried a couple of McAfee's diagnostic tools:

http://www.securecomputing.com/dhc/dhcsfw.cfm?domain=my.pogoplug.com&pid=
http://www.trustedsource.org/query/my.pogoplug.com

both show my.pogoplug.com as minimal risk, which is their lowest level of alert.

@GreenTapir - the only thing I can think of is potentially writing into McAfee to ask them why they flagged the site - if there's something we can do to unflag it we'll look into it.

This is the same issue as earlier - Norton has flagged a users' share as containing unsafe content. I have asked them to review their decision and also initiated higher level contacts with Norton to see if there's some way to make their bots smart enough to understand that shared files from someone's hard drive are not actually on the site.

Then the shared items can be seen by anyone? May be the content on the indivudual pogos also?

Mr. Jon QA.. Thank you for the quick answer. Although I have no doubt about the security of the product I had to ask...
You did a great device.. and I bought it from Turkey firstly delivering to American address then to Turkey as it is not available for now..

I've been using my Pogoplug on a Win 7 laptop for the past 5 months successfully. This week the Pogoplug software is unable to connect to my drives. Note that I also have a Mac OS X which is also connected wirelessly with no problems.

I get the following ERROR "There appears to be a problem with your network. Please check your network connection and click the Connect button to try again."

The Pogoplug tech (AdamC) suggested that I remove my anti-virus protection and firewall. I use McAfee and until this week I've had no problems. I'm concerned about this answer because removing my anti-virus isn't an option.
