I'm on a website and sometimes I get redirected to the error safe website. It only happens on that website but I know that site is safe. Is this a website thing because I did a virus scan and nothing comes up. Pc-Cillin blocks it but it gets really annoying to be redirected to the error safe website from a safe site.

I'm not sure if this will fix it, but if you're using firefox or iceweasel with the NoScript plugin, you can turn off meta redirects. I use it to get around Microsoft forums that redirect you if you turn javashit off. You do have to make that one extra click if you really did want to be redirected, but it's worth it for all the rude behaviour it stops.

And besides, if you do browse that site with firefox + noscript, there's very little chance of a security problem anyway.

Using a plugin like NoScript will give you a _false_ feeling of security! There are still many things which might go wrong and can be a security risk...

If you are visiting a site which is labelled as insecure and you know _for a fact!_ that the site is safe, simply put the site in your allow list.

Although remember that if a anti-whatever program says a site is a security risk in most cases it does mean it is a security risk!

Also note that doing a virusscan will not tell you if a site is safe or not. Sites and programs on your harddisk are two completely different things, not to be confussed.

As a matter of fact, doing a virusscan just like that and without first rebooting into safe mode quite often does not detect all virusses because if there are already virusses running they quite often mask themselfs out for the scanners. Always reboot in safe mode before doing a virusscan.
