I keep thinking I understand how to determine if a site is safe for me to visit or not... but I keep learning I know nothing.

 

So, my two part question is:

Is the issue that some/many webpages in the domain are very dangerous, but the primary page is not?

If I'm wrong, then please try to explain the discrepancy.  PS, a few years ago it set off all sorts of "alarms" on my system so I won't go there anymore anyway.

Clear enough, but I'm about to talk to a group and encourage them to use Webroot and, if not, encourage them to use Brightcloud.

Bright cloud UTL IP says:

Hello can you post the lines from the Scan log that shows that info? Also you can Submit a Change here: http://www.brightcloud.com/tools/change-request-url-reputation.php

 

Thanks,

We'll need pass this one along to BrightCloud to have it looked at. 

 

It is common for the root domain to be clean but have infected pages on the domain, but I don't believe that is the case here.

I did hear back from BrightCloud and the reputation is being updated for that URL.

Thanks DanP.

 

I don't know which information is correct but it was one of the very few websites that set off alarms when visited.  That was over a year ago but I am as cautious as I know how to be.  (Being chicken is not ALWAYS a bad thing... :D)

 

Godspeed
