I have enrolled in Jaaxy, the keyword tool from the makers of Wealthy Affiliate and recently discovered that our company security software from Trend Micro had blocked my access to Jaaxy due to it being labeled as a "phishing" site. Earlier in the year, it was no problem to get to the Jaaxy site from our company network, so needless to day, I was more than confused.

I noticed this as early as Dec 10, 2012 and reported it as a "SAFE" site under Blogs / Web Communication and found that as of Jan 17, 2013 it was still being classified as a "phishing" site and I could not access the site from our company network. I then reported the site again as "SAFE": under a different classification : Search Engines / Portals.

Pretty frustrating to have what I have learned is a very valuable tool be denied as a site to utilize for Internet Marketing research by a very well-known and highly-rated Internet security application.

Fortunately, as of Jan 19, 2013 it has been reclassified by Trend Micro as a "safe" site under Computers / Internet !

Anybody else notice this "problem"?
