I primarily develop software for LEGO sellers in C/C# and protect my code using .NET Reactor.
My website contains links to my projects, and are all signed with a valid certificate.
I don't send bulk emails, my mail server setup is correct with the latest antispam technology.
What I have done:
- I created an account, added the sites, and verified ownership.
- Filed a dispute
- First time: I get error 500, can't submit
- Second time: Can't submit because the dispute is already pending
- Waited two days, no emails, nothing
- Asked customers to write reviews
- Checked other scanners/blacklists but they are all clean
My other site with links to my software is fine according to SafeWeb.

1) [...] do I really need one and is this really the reason why Norton is flagging my site as Malicious Sources/Malnets
2) Any advice would be welcome
The IP address belongs to fasthosts.co.uk where the website is hosted. I have rung them and they had a look and replied by saying that they believe the reason why Norton is flagging the website up as Dangerous is because the domain lacks a SSL certificate. The website is just information about a club for wood carvers and has no ecommerce at all. I am therefore surprised that I would need SSL as I thought it only applied to encryption for financial transactions and equally surprised that Norton would insist that I have one. Fasthosts.co.uk say that they will add one for me at a yearly cost, but do I really need one and is this really the reason why Norton is flagging my site as Malicious Sources/Malnets ????
Thank you so much! The quick reply and fix are really appreciated.
I am still unsure why it was flagged in the first place. The only thing I can think of is the way I protect my source code with .NET Reactor making it difficult for virus scanners to scan, maybe matching a malicious pattern. No idea, not my field of expertise.
