FSecure is wrong as near as I know. While we did once have a somewhat pwned wordpress problem, that was cleared up years ago.

Is there any more info you get from the program about things to tell the site owner, or anything?

Unfortunately, all it's giving me is

"Harmful web site blocked

http://wp.baitcon.org/

This web site has been reported as harmful.
We recommend that you do not visit this web site."

and then options for "safe search," "allow this web site," and "report site." That last looks as though it sends a report to F-Secure, which seems as though it would either be redundant, or increase their belief that the site is unsafe.

Honestly, I'd just whitelist it. But I've submitted it as a false positive to f-secure's response team (via https://www.f-secure.com/en/web/labs_global/submit-a-sample ) and hopefully they'll fix their DB (or give me actionable data...)

[jbsegal]

Thanks for the heads-up, by the way...

You're welcome.

Given how often sites that should be safe wind up with malware, I don't tend to whitelist anything without checking and/or waiting (though if you're not including ads the risk of malware would be low.)
