I'm using Norton Security that comes with BT internet, I have a blocked model railway web site that I have been using for years and I know is safe, for some reason Norton has blocked it, I can only find how to unblock "programs" in the settings, there's nothing related to unblocking a web site, can anyone help please?
Phil

What you are seeing are malformed ads on the site you are trying to view. You should contact the website owner and let them know. They are probably just using an ad service, so they have no control over what ads are displayed.

Malicious Site Blocked! = Norton Safe Web Intrusion Protection System (IPS) block
IPS plays a critical role in filling holes created by bugs in operating systems, browsers and applications. IPS detects and helps stop exploitations of security vulnerabilities.
IPS has been a part of Norton Device Security solutions for some time, but now that it is also a part of the Norton Safe Web browser extension, the content of suspicious web pages, advertisements and popups are now cross-examined in an additional way, giving you even more protection when you browse the Web.

phil.c:I've done that, no one else has this problem, I don't have this problem when using an iPhone or iPad, it's just related to Norton on my pc?
Sorry, at this time. Regarding yourmodelrailway.net
I'm not seeing Norton Safe Web -> Malicious Site Blocked! on my pc.

phil.c:But why...it's a safe site, I've been using it for years along with other forum members?
Sorry, I don't know. Norton detects and does not like advertising-cdn.com content.

phil.c:Well, Norton hasn't blocked that site in the past two years and the site hasn't changed!
We'll try to call attention: No promises. No timeline.

phil.c:But why...it's a safe site, I've been using it for years along with other forum members?
The site itself is safe. As you can see in the images, it is https: //advertising-cdn. com that is being flagged by Norton. As I suggested above, an ad on that web site is trying to redirect your browser, but is being intercepted by Norton because the site it is trying to take you to is dangerous.
To help combat these redirects you can install an ad blocker extension in your browser.
