Thanks to a reader for advising me, it would appear that an automated service from Norton (Safe Web) has categorised my blog as Dangerous, stating the following.
Threat Report
This is a known dangerous webpage. It is highly recommended that you do NOT visit this page.

There is an appeal button on the site, which I used and I explained what the blog is about. I also suggested that the category be changed from Phishing to Gaming.
The reply came back very quickly and simply said;
“The website rating is not changed after evaluation”
Whilst I understand that automated systems working on keywords etc can produce these effects, I am really surprised that the rating was upheld after appeal, it rather feels like very heavy handed moderation and rather a unfair way for a company to manipulate internet content.
I’m not sure where this leaves the blog! I must admit it has rather taken the wind out of my sails.
