Addsum web site and general info

Postings here will focus mainly on Advanced Accounting software updates, tips, and related topics. They will also include general comments relating to troubleshooting PC/Windows/network problems and may also include reference to our other software products and projects including any of our various utilities, or to the TAS Premier programming language. We considered setting up separate blogs for different topics so that users/others could subscribe to topics mostly aligned with their interests, but decided that it would be better to keep things simple since some topics cross over into others. We would nonetheless welcome your feedback/input in this regard. Our web site URL is www.addsuminc.com. Call us at 800-648-6258 or 801-277-9240. We also maintain www.advancedaccounting.us so that older Business Tools users in particular have a greater chance to find us.

False positive creates Google Blogger chaos

While we didn't notice this issue until very recently, an "automated misclassification bug" on Google Blogger sites incorrectly flagged thousands of blogs (including ours) as containing malicious content.  This started on August 4, 2026.

Our blog was never blocked and we did not have to request a review to unblock it (as outlined in some of the links below), but our anti-virus software (as well as other AV software on customer systems) was still as of this week detecting the false positive flag.

Various links related to the issue are outlined below:
