Kaspersky Internet Security Incorrectly Flagging Archive.org as phishing site

I use Kaspersky Internet Security to protect my pc and noticed today that it was blocking archive.org even though the site is safe. I have a clean installation of windows 10 pro and have never had any problems with any types of malware or accessed any risky websites. I'm not sure why archive.org was blocked, but I wanted to know if this is a false positive. 

Thanks,

Caleb

Welcome to Kaspersky Community.

 

I've just checked https:// archive . org/ in  KOTIP and VirusTotal services, and yeah appears as clean.

 

I've also visited that URL and did not get any detection of my Kaspersky, but You are showing a different link in Your capture, it's that the one is being flagging: https:// ia801204 . us . archive.org/

 

I have just sent a report to K. analysts, waiting for the verdict.

Hello,

Dear User,

Thank you for sending a request to Kaspersky!
We have checked the link you sent us.
It has been confirmed as a false positive and excluded from our data loss threat protection databases.
