Unsafe Website Blocked
« on: April 24, 2015, 07:39:20 PM »
I am getting 2 different errors via Avast.

Sometimes I am able to visit a website but it says the connection is insecure. When I look at the site certificate, it's for search.dnsadvantage.com and the certificate is issued by avast (but expired in 2014). I think this is the avast service where I am using the avast DNS servers for added security but for some reason, it is broken when I visit this one site (but not for any other site).

Other times when I visit this site, I get a "Warning: Unsafe Website Blocked!" (via http://securedns.comodo.com/.....) and it won't even let me surf that website at all. "This website has been blocked temporarily because of the following reason(s): Prohibited Content: Site may contain content that is prohibited on this network" The website is dpreview.com, a highly trafficked photography website.


Any idea what is going on?
