On rare occasions, you may experience what is called a false positive when the legitimate site you are visiting has been flagged and blocked. If it is a brand new site, it may not have been rated yet. However in many cases the site has been compromised and is temporarily inaccessible until the problem has been corrected. If you feel you are being blocked from a legitimate site, you may send an email to: website@websense.com for review.Neal Moss is our resident Websense expert.
