I have had some problems with my computer which are now fixed and I have chosen Kaspersky as my virus scanner. However it seems to be very diligent and will not allow me to access www.homeworkshop.org.uk it tells me it is a phishing site. Does anyone else have this problem and how can I get round it?

Works OK for me (without Kapersky).

There should be an option somewhere in Kaspersky (et al) to exclude specific sites from the hit list.

Incidentally, this is an interesting article on the subject of false positive detections by AVs.

Ive had Kaspersky for years and was blocked out for 6 months , i tried everything with no success.Including all the usual of adding it to exceptions lists etc.. in Kaspersky. I also think the windows 10 update had something to do with it. For the last month for some reason ive been able to access it despite Kaspersky warnings still coming up in google for Home workshop.

Funny how this was the only site i couldnt access!

If you use http://www.homeworkshop.club/ instead the .org.uk address, Kaspersky is OK.
