Internet security vs. Bluelight

[Movemauser]

Hi Mods and everyone.

I don't really need any help with this - but thought Bluelight should be informed about it.

After an update of my antivirus software, my internet security wouldn't let me onto Bluelight, because - it claimed - the site is a source of malware and phishing. I actually had to put the Bluelight URL into a 'trusted sites' thingy on the Antivirus console - first time I've ever had to do that... and I go to some wierd sites sometimes!!

Now I don't believe there's any such risk to justify a respected internet security company putting you on their list. That's why I thought you should know.

And maybe if any other users have had a similar issue, they can report it here....

it could be that someone linked to an image on a malware site.

All pages, or a particular page?

I came across a page last week that was flagged by Chrome. I just edited out the offending picture.

Let me know.

Hi Tambourine Man, it was just when I typed "Bluelight.ru" that the warning screen came up. I didn't try any other URLs.

Bluelight is on some lists as "suspicious."
