My wife's business web site has suddenly been blocked by our Home hub's Advanced web protect.???

Can moderators please advice how to get this false flag removed, as it is causing chaos for her work and other associated bits.

We have no idea how long this has been going on for and could have cost her thousands in client enquires.

Please help!!!!

OMG!!! ok... i just spent another hour on the phone with EE trying to get them to look into it..... why would her web site suddenly be black listed? She's a PT and Nutritionist.....it not like its a porno or adult content??? is full of diatry advice for middle aged women.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do next?

WIX ( who deal with the website ) had looked into this all week and are adamant that it is all perfect...?

@ianlock It may just be the Advanced web protect, no longer an EE customer so really cannot do much to check for you apart from say try switching the feature off/on with a little time in between and pin the sucker down... Good luck with it all.🤞👍

I use Kaspersky Advanced Internet so if it see the slightest oops then flashes up the warning, yours was fine Norton would not use it for love nor money, (my opinion only)

Sorry, the Norton window disappears when I try to snip it. Neither of those 2 terms appear in it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Advanced Web Protect is based on Norton.
