Well it seems as IE7 (Internet Explorer 7) has classified my Blog as a suspicious phishing website!<\/p>\n

Somehow I don’t think this sound’s right at all and well it didn’t take long to find out what the problem was, I figured out it would be something that I have in my Blog’s sidebar, probably the shout box as it collects data, but I thought surely not!<\/p>\n

But I was right, it was and still is the shoutbox that’s causing IE7 to classify my blog as a suspicious phishing website because as soon as I removed the shoutbox from the code and refreshed the page the message disappears, here’s an image of what you will see if you visit my blog like it is at the moment with the shoutbox activated.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

So for now I’ve left shoutbox on as it’s only been since very recently that this warning has appeared but I’ll tell you what I will be doing and that is to report this problem to Microsoft straight away, I’ll update\u00a0you all\u00a0if I get a reply or if the warning is removed!<\/p>\n

Update 1:<\/strong> Ok I’ve just filled in a form\u00a0to tell Microsoft about the incorect warning, and got the following below, oh and on another note it’s not just the shoutbox but my input form comment boxes for all my posts,\u00a0so I guess the best I can do now is wait\u00a0and see what happens next!<\/p>\n
