Anybody out their experiencing this Error (see image attached or text below) when trying to access web sites from a comcast business account:
"Malware and Phishing This site is blocked because it is a known security threat. Please contact your network administrator to gain access"?
MOST ANNOYING THING EVER! no explanation, or even a clue as to who is blocking you.
I FIGURED IT OUT AND I HOPE THAT THIS HELPS SOMEBODY. I finally narrowed it down to our comcast business account being the source of the blocking. I went to the site that they suggest in order to ask for the site to be Unblocked....did this three times and even though they promise a three day turnaround, never heard another word from them. I then went into our business account and found something called "securityedge" with a button to turn "cybersecurity" on or off. I tried to edit the settings but was told my account (which is the primary account) didn't have authority. so I just turned it off and now I can access the web address with no problems.
This would seem to be an extra layer of security over and above the firewall settings built into the modem itself. I'm still looking into why I can't edit the settings since the account I used was the primary account, but for now...its fixed!
As always please be cautious when you disable security settings because you do open the door to more risk, but in this case it was interfering with our ability to do business.
I hope this helps somebody out there having a similar issue. If you've solved a similar issue, send me a note about it and lets share our successes!

GOT A COMPUTER PROBLEM?!? READ THIS! We all wish we knew a guy…or girl for that matter…that is a “guy/girl” whom we can trust to help us with the things that we don’t know how to do for ourselves. Maybe a builder to help with home improvement, or a mechanic when our vehicle is on the fritz, an electrician when our wiring is a little off, or an interior decorator when our creativity runs dry. Maybe, just maybe, you need a “guy” to help you with your Computer, Web site, Livestream setup, or Network. One who you can trust to tell you the truth, fix your problem, and not charge you an arm and a leg in the process. I want to be that “guy” for all of your technical issues, questions, upgrades, etc.

I love to fix computers, upgrade computers, help computers talk to each other (we call that networking) and help with technical questions of all kinds, from web site building to livestream setup and production to upgrading an average PC to run the latest game or just become more functional. When it come to computers, I love to solve problems.

If you have a computer issue, question, or need, send me a message and let me see if I can help you!
