Why is Symantec blocking access to https://my.pogoplug.com?

I have a Pogoplug device which allows me to access any drives pluged into the device from the Internet by going to the  web site  hxxps://my.pogoplug.com. Symantec has suddently started blocking access to this site stating it is "Malicious".

 

Since the contents of the site is basically what's on the local drive of the person using it, that makes no sense.  There are no malicious files on my PogoPlug device and if there are malicous files on someone else's Pogoplug device, that doesn't affect me since I can 't access them.

 

Can someone from Symantec please correct this?

Norton Safe Web reports that Trojan Zlob has been found on that site.  Norton can't fix the issue until the site owner cleans the site.

The problem is that that "site" isn't really a site, but is a way to interface to locale drives on a user's home network.  One person must have had a trojan on his home computer. 

 

It is akin to blocking the entire Norton Backup Service if one person backed up a virus from his PC.
