Norton 360 flags all links to web sites from posts in Disqus as "malicious". This even includes the Norton Community!

This is ridiculous. HELP!

I tried that. I have done reviews for several web sites that Norton has flagged as "malicious" through Disqus post links. ALL of them are safe. ALL of them can be accessed through Norton Safe Search WITHOUT any flagging as "malicious". ALL of them are considered "SAFE" by Norton Safe search. YET, when the link to ANY of these SAME web sites goes through a Disqus post, the "malicious" web site stupidity is triggered.

Norton has to talk to Disqus about this, like, YESTERDAY.

Thank you BJM_! 

I tested a link in a disqus compliant web site and it wasn't flagged. 

Happy New Year and may God Bless you and your family!
