I often read their schedule of upcoming events, so it is a pity Kutcheribuzz has been inaccessible for the past 10 days (since Twitter was brought down). Any idea when it can be back online?

It seems the site has been affected by malicious software (trojans)

This is the message my browser, Firefox, gives

"This web site at kutcheribuzz.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences."


I managed to access the site using Internet Explorer 7

Firefox and Google seems to be cooperating to implement this security feature. Google flagged kutcheribuzz.com as a supplier of malware ( not necessarily intentionally ).

I would not recommend visiting such reported sites with another browser unless there is an urgent need. Even if you had visited there, run some malware scanning and removal tool to get rid of any infections.


Here is what Google flagged. Kutcheribuz has to work with Google to resolve the issue so firefox users can get there without having to run through hoops

Hi revathimusic,
Was that the virus that slowed down the activities at kutcheribuzz.com? Are you working in Kutcheribuzz? When will the December season get active on the website? Will the newspaper come out during the season?
I know I posted a lot of questions to you. :) While there are many websites that have the calendar of concerts I want to catch up with news and feel of the season.
