I made a gadget that generates art using shockwave. Its been
up for a
week or so but now its returning the error shown below on
several
browsers and computers.  The shockwave movie is not pulling
any content
from anywhere, it generates the art client side and worked
fine until
today. Any ideas?

the xml is here:

Ideas about what?  How long before service is restored? 
This isn't
even a Google Homepage API related question.

shockwave module causing virus or spyware error

Actually my question is a Google Homepage API related
question, perhaps
I did not make myself clear...sorry.

My module worked as intended last week and most of this
week.  I tested
it in all available browsers that support shockwave and on
both macs
and pcs.

Yesterday,  for some reason it was causing an error(error
pasted into
the 1st post) on all 4 testing computers here at work in
both firefox
and IE. The error varied in degree of severity. For instance
in IE I
got the above error message and was unable to perform any
more google
searches since it tried to return me to my personalized home
page and
then displayed the same error again. In Firefox I was able
to enter the
code from the image onscreen and return to the classic
google search
view without incident.

After some point this morning the error mysteriously went
away. Not
sure why. Now the module works fine.

My module collects no user data and performs no network
operations, it
just makes a pretty picture and sits there. So I suspect the
shockwave
plug-in itself may have been trying to look for updates or
initiate a
version tracker or something that triggered the blockage. Or
perhaps
there was something wierd going on with my work network.
Perhaps I will
never know. I was trying to see if any other developers had
run into
the same problem and knew what could be causing it.

Regards,
Don Relyea
