Hi there.  I downloaded the To Do in sync gadget and tried to look at the tutorial online. Norton found a malicious script as soon as I requested it.  So, naturally I stopped the script and deleted the gadget from my desktop.

I hope that Google can remove this gadget from their list.

Ciao

Hi, i'm the author of the gadget. It is a known fact that sometimes
Norton consideres certain Javascript (the programming language in which
the gadget is made) commands as possible malicious scripts, sometimes
it's only as a precaution; but in this case i assure you there isn't
any malicious script included in the gadget. Usually you can specify if
you trust the script in the same window that gives you the alert.

Please tell me if there still are unclear issues,
Thanks,
Teo.
