My work also banned PH as an inappropriate site - I actually had to do some work today!

Crazy isn't it but at least you can access the forum chat! I just can't log on at work which isn't a bad thing.

Yep same here, Pistonheads seems to have got into the banned list on our McAffee web gateway...

Confirmed here as well. No more PH access from work. Something has changed and it has ended up on a blacklist. I had a highly productive day today smile

PH techies might want to look at it. I'll still read from home, but I can see it affecting ad revenues if not sorted...

I still don't understand how McAfee's SiteAdvisor site says pistonheads.com is safe (see photo above), yet everyone running McAfee seems to have been blocked.

I'll contact McAfee regardless to see what's happening.

Got a quick response from McAfee:

McAfee said:
Hello Matt,

Thank you for your request. Upon review, the SiteAdvisor rating of the site has been adjusted to Green. Please refer to the link below:
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/pistonheads.com
Though the link they provided is the same as I viewed earlier. Could someone with the software verify that it's been updated?

Great they they've fixed it, but what was their pathetic excuse for trying to sabotage the site in the first place?
