    Microsoft Edge and this forum

    I just recently upgraded to Windows 10 and was stuck with the replacement for internet explorer called Edge which really sucks. I quickly changed my default back to ie but still I still mess around with edge.

    When I ever I come to this site I get a warning on a bright red page that says


    This website has been reported as unsafe

    www.accessforums.net

    We recommend that you do not continue to this website. It has been reported to Microsoft for containing threats to your computer that might reveal personal or financial information
    I don't even get the option to continue anyway if I choose to ignore.

    I've been coming to this site for a long time and I don't consider it unsafe. I was wondering if anyone else had gotten this message and how to prevent i

    Yours is the second question today about this. It is coming from a Microsoft security add-on called SmartScreen (which apparently isn't very smart) designed to identify sites which are risky to visit because of potential malware attacks.

    It can be disabled if you are satisfied you have adequate safeguards without it.

    It should be a false alert, I haven't noticed anything unusual.

    I trust Google on the security thing, if a site is really harmful, Chrome will warn you when you visit it.

    I also posted about this earlier today. Even if you turn Smart Screen off the red page warning still pops up. It say go to my page instead. But when you click that it takes you or me anyway to the google home page. It just started today and I made no changes to cause this problem. I am guessing that it has something to do with Windows 10. My laptop have Windows 8.1 and it is not getting the same error.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
