Why not ask the author? Contact info is at http://safrad.own.cz/AboutMe.html

The program has been developed since 2006 (according to the website). I see no reason to suspect this is a clone. It's rated 1900 and apparently isn't being advertised very much. :wink:

I looked at the link for a second, before Norton safe Search warned me! Here is a full report:

Hmm, all the malware links are from dennis.own.cz. I'm no expert in the Czech language, but it seems that own.cz is a Czech hosting company, and that all the infected pages were from one particular customer with the subdomain dennis.own.cz.

I took another look. That's pretty irresponsible of Norton to deter people from visiting a site, if another site owned by the host by used by a different customer, has malware?!
