When I was working on Adonomics there was a bug that caused certain virus scanners to claim that we were trying to install spyware on the visitor's computer.

It just so happened that there was a string on the page that matched the scanners' virus signature. It was in the HTML so between a few of the offending lines I inserted <!-- THIS IS NOT A VIRUS -->. Problem solved.

I'd never, ever seen a website that did that, let alone one that I created!
