For a few days VisualFORTH wasn't available for download.
Thanks to my special measures having website access and content hosting separated,
I could use a new hosting site to offer VisualFORTH download again.
If you download VisualFORTH from http://visualforth.org/ there still may be problems with your antivirus software, and the only thing which helps for now is to exclude the VisualFORTH/Win32Forth folder from being checked by your antivirus software.
We are still looking for a better solutions, many people are involved in this search, see our Win32Forth Facebook page.

Exploits/Malware
Two days ago I got this message:
The hosting for somersetweb.com has been suspended. It was suspended because there was a registration agreement violation.
More specifically,
Exploits/Malware. Permanent Suspension
I contacted my hosting company immediately. They sent me back the hosted data and I ran a scan with Malwarebytes, getting this list of VisualFORTH-files:

Generic.Malware/Suspicious, C:\SOMERSETWEB\VISUALFORTH\EXAMPLES\RPN-CALC.EXE
This software is stored on these locations since several years, starting in 2009, and never was rejected. Since a while more and more antivirus programs classify Win32Forth programs as malware.

There is a group of Win32Forth users which are trying to fix this problem, see Facebook, Google, and Yahoo groups:

Members of the Taiwan Forth Interest Group are helping a lot.
I hope that my webpage VisualFORTH.org will run soon again.
For now there is no download of VisualFORTH available, because all VisualFORTH website contents are hosted at SomersetWEB.com.
