False Positive - Escalation Request for maxionresearch.com

Issue abstract:

maxionresearch. com — a site I own and have just verified as the site owner in Norton Safe Web — is showing a false-positive “Warning” rating. Asking for a manual re-review.

Detailed description:

I’m the verified owner of maxionresearch. com (a legitimate market research / focus group site). A while back the site was hit with malware, which Norton correctly flagged at the time. We had it professionally cleaned months ago and hardened it (Wordfence + WAF rules), and it’s been clean ever since.

The old “Warning” rating has stuck around as a stale false positive. Every other major vendor has already cleared us — VirusTotal shows 0 detections, and Fortinet, Trellix, Gridinsoft, and CRDF have all removed their flags. Norton Safe Web is the last one still showing the old warning.

I submitted a dispute through the Safe Web portal over a week ago (and again today), and completed site-owner verification today, but the rating hasn’t changed. Could a mod please help escalate this to the Safe Web team for a manual re-review? Happy to provide anything you need. Thank you.

Product & version number:

N/A — this is a Norton Safe Web website-rating issue (I’m the verified site owner), not a product problem.

OS details:

N/A

What is the error message you are seeing?

Norton Safe Web shows a “Warning” rating for maxionresearch. com.

  • Norton Submission Portal is used for submitting false positive reports.
  • Verified site owners generally have access to a dashboard where they can see the status of their site and any pending disputes.
  • If the status of your site has not changed – on the Safe Web public lookup – after 48 business hours – contact official Norton Support directly. Explicitly tell the agent: “I have already submitted a site dispute via the Safe Web portal more than 48 hours ago and have not received a status update.” This often prompts support to escalate the ticket manually.
