Web Protection blocking website

Laststarfighter

Hi 

i have the Sophos 9.x installed on my mac, with block access to malicious sites set to 'on' under Web Protection.

What I've noticed is that the website www.whitepages.com.au seems to be blocked from loading.

This has been happening for months and I always thought it was an issue with my mac. Other macs in the household don't have Sophos installed and can access the site fine.

If I add the site to the allowed websites it stll won't load.

If I set block access to malicious sites set to 'off' it will load as per normal.

www.whitepages.com.au is a legitimate website, I'm not sure why it is getting blocked. Or why when I add it as an allowed site it still won't load?

Cheers

LS

    Have you come up with a solution for this?  I have the same problem.  2 days ago, for no apparent reason, most but not all web sites are blocked.  The same sites are blocked in Safari and Firefox.  I am running snow leopard.  For me, I have to turn off both of the options under "web protection" to solve the problem but I would like to turn them back on.
