As in the title, I have been informed by a couple of users that Norton is reporting my site as dangerous.
I have run multiple checks on it, it is actually clean.
The issue is that Norton Safeweb (the tool in question) does not check the subdomains, just the domain.
Unfortunately, there is a different subdomain not owned by me that does have the reported threats, which has affected the rating for other Awardspace.co.uk hosted sites.
I am currently in the process of getting Norton to check my site seperately from the main awardspace.co.uk domain, but it may take time.
I thought it's best to inform users about this situation.

If you look closely at the bottom, it is one or two subdomains in the sample shown.
If the situation still exists after I can get Norton to check my site seperately, then I will have a look into what's causing it.

EDIT: This problem has now been resolved - Norton has re-evaluated the whole of the domain, and has re-rated it as OK.
