My Denon Home Entertainment receiver, connected to my local network with IP-address 192.168.1.44 (local address) has a Network interface, which can be called by it's IP-address.
When the menu of the receiver is displayed in the Firefox browser, this local address is identified as Malicious by Norton Safe Web, caused by a : Drive by dowload - Malicious Site: Malicious Domain Request 2.
Can somebody explain, why a local address in the first place is identified this way and how to correct this situation?
That is peculiar. Malicious Site: Malicious Domain Request 2 is an outbound detection. Is the private IP address showing in the alert as the destination address or is there an internet address showing in the alert somewhere as well?
No there is not an internet address and no specific alert in the History section. It only shows up in the browser toolbar with an exclamation mark (see screenshot). When i click the exclamation mark and then ask a full report, it sends me to Norton's Safe Web site and there it states that this IP-adress has the before mentioned threat.
The only alert which shows up for this IP-address in History is an SSDP warning, which relates to the IP-address of my laptop (see second screenshot), which i can imagine because i manage the receiver from there.
I think it's an error in the Safeweb site's database, which makes the error too general for only a private/local address.
BTW : The receiver makes, once a day, a connection with Denon's website to check if there are firmware updates. A normal operation, I think.

Yeah, I see what you mean. There is no way that Norton Safe Web could actually crawl that address, let alone find a threat. Very strange.
