Blocked by Fortiguard, and reported.

Edit: To clarify. It was blocked. I reported this 'false positive' to Fortiguard to remove it from their list. They normally clear it in 24 hours.

I had a look at the page source and didn't find anything remotely "dangerous" there. There's just a bit javascript to (de)obfuscate the author's email address, the rest is pretty standard stuff.

When I read this comment, I immediately asked myself: "What's wrong with the site?"

Now, I'm asking myself: "What's wrong with tools like Fortiguard?"

"Blocked by Fortiguard, and reported."

Why would it be blocked by anyone?

The category was: Proxy avoidance.

Yes, Fortiguard is a POS, but some of us have no choice behind corporate firewalls/proxies.

Without your clarification, it seemed you were saying that this page was malicous, just because that strange tool said so.

i downvoted you earlier because your comment sounded like you felt protected from some threat by some fortiguard thing and also reported the alleged malware. simple misunderstanding from non-verbosity.
