News: StoneCAD 5 does SketchUp.  Did you know you can link your StoneCAD texture map images directly to SketchUp.  Check the 'Goodies' directory in your StoneCAD installation.

Users are reporting this with some amount of frequency.  Furthermore the users are reporting being told to pay $40 or more to download the StoneCAD application! 

Okay - first the good news.  As of today Owens Corning's server has not been hacked or hijacked.

The bad news:  the users reporting this problem have a malicious virus.  This is a virus that is redirecting the request to the Cultured Stone site to a fraudulent site requesting payment for the StoneCAD software.

We (the StoneCAD support and development team - not Owens Corning) recommend if you encounter this error to go to http://free.avg.com  .  That's currently our favorite free virus scanning software.  Download and install this tool and inoculate your machine.  You could also dump your Windows machine for a Linux, or OSX machine - but that's another discussion all-together.
