Looks like the site has been wiped.

Bit more than a Malware, My Norton just showed an attempt at un-authorised access. So don't visit it at the moment. Maybe use this thread by the owner to determin if it is safe to visit.

Hello All,

I don't know where else to put this, so if the Mods think it's worth moving, please feel free.

Briefly, the Star Optics website gets a Google warning before loading the page.

I seriously doubt the SO crew are actually doing any malware, but if somebody can let them know it would probably be good for business.

Regards,
