    All I can do is report it, which I've done.

    I still hate services such as this. I'm sick and tired of big companies trying to treat the web like they own it and controlling what people can access.

    It won't be long before sites that the companies, or the government, don't like are censored in a similar way, under the cover of "it contains malware" or similar excuse. All very 1984 I am opposed to the whole lot of it.

      The former UK ISP Freeserve actually did this many years ago....after they were bought by Wanadoo, they blocked competing ISPs web sites to try and stop people changing supplier.

      These companies will behave like this if they are allowed to do so. Only a public outcry got Wanadoo to back off.

          There's nothing on there. It's a false positive.

          Quite aside from my own checks, it's a busy site and someone would have said something. It's actually one of the busier vB5 sites around, it's even on Eva2000's list of vB5 sites he keeps an eye on.

          My money's on the large amounts of JavaScript triggering it. Seen that before.

              It's just a theory.

                  To be clear: there's no malware on the site. My "theory" simply suggests a reason why Web Safe might have flagged it incorrectly in the first place.
