Some threads classed as "Malicious"

[miketsp]

Every now and again I come across SB threads that I can't access because our company filters (McFee/Websense) class them as "malicious".

Example:

Blocked Site Details:
Category: "Malicious Sites"

Toss your cookies, as it's probably not us. If you tried to go to one of those 'malicious' websites, your cookies will cause Google ads to keep serving them or their competitors up as ads. There are tons of reasons for sites to be considered malicious, but if it continues, please send a screenshot to support@ScubaBoard.com.

Hi Mike,

Don't bother clearing your cookies. Your workplace has a special version of McAfee. Did you do what it said by clicking on the link TrustedSource - Domain, URL or IP checking ? It calls this site "fun" (recreation/hobbies) not actually malicious. Apparently your company doesn't want you to be on ScubaBoard while at work. I'd suggest a mobile device, or checking out the TOR Project. There's a version you can run from a memory stick
