Greetings. :)
In http://www.dmoz.org/Health/Mental_Health/Disorders/Anxiety/Self-Help/ , the site listed as "One Step Forward" redirects to a different URL with a preponderance of Google ads and no discernible unique content.

In that same category, "The Worry Club" is nothing but a list of affiliate links unrelated to the topic.

There are a few other minor fixes I've suggested as Update Requests, including a redirecting vanity URL, but these two are probably the most important, which is why I came here to point them out. Many thanks. :)

I hope I didn't cause confusion. Post #4066 was made in error, but #4065 reported two real issues. Here are some more, when someone has a minute or two. :)

In http://www.dmoz.org/Health/Services/:
  • the site listed as "Just Move" says it is "no longer available". It now directs users to other sites owned by the American Heart Association, such as the one listed (incorrectly) as "One Of A Kind" in that same category.
  • "Surgical Imaging Sales and Service Specialists" has been suspended and has no content.
In http://www.dmoz.org/Health/Services/Online_Health_Consulting/ :
  • "FindCancerExperts" does not load for me.
In http://www.dmoz.org/Health/Services/Health_Records_Services/ :
  • "Imetrikus" does not load for me either.

Thanks for checking. :)

A devious site using spam..and aggresive pop ups (repetedley!!!)
managed to trick my girlfriend into downloading its trial verision Anti Virus
that now has blocked access to deleting it or uninstalling it!

so pissed :- ( I wrote them telling them and told them to contact me and tell me how to remove their junk from my comp. of course they did no such thing
so now Iv'e reported them everywhere I could.

If anybody here would be so kind as to help me in my attempts to remove this application from my comp I would really appreciate it
Thanks
J

jaiavarman, this thread is for reporting sites that are currently listed in the ODP, but have problems of one sort or another that mean they shouldn't be listed. As far as I can see, the site you mentioned isn't listed in the ODP. While I'm sure everyone would sympathise with your problems, this forum isn't the place to get help.
