It appear as though the company that provides our Chat feature recently updated their software and now one of their modules is being 'mis-classified' by Norton/Symantec and possible containing a virus. Until they have this resolved we have de-activaed chat. We've opened a support incident with Envolve and they will hopefully have this corrected soon.

We just pulled ours (1994 PSC34) and it still looked new. The previous owners had pulled it about 10 years ago and had it prepped (alodine, I think) and painted. He had also installed a support...
