Visiting an untrustworthy website has been prevented... erm, but it's YOUR OWN

[Biposto]

This only happens when I search Google.co.uk for the exact text Ornate Stone Balustrade

The problem domain is Kasperky's own!

Why does Kaspersky decide to block itself, and only on this exact text string? Can anyone guess?

(BTW I haven't changed any settings in years).

This is weird 🤔 ,  i can't reproduce.
Please clear your Browser cache + reboot ?

I did that and it's still doing it. What I think is happening is that it's identifying a suspicious website in the search, but is then for some reason is giving the error without me even clicking on it, and attributing the error wrongly to its own URL.

This is in Chrome. When I use Edge and perform the same search, the second website returned comes with a !Dangerous Website label, and Phishing Website as the description, but the error does not occur (unless I were to click on it, I presume).

So the error might happen for Chrome whenever a suspicious website occurs in the search results?

Kaspersky  21.3 is obsolete , please upgrade for free to Kaspersky Standard.

I submitted above URL to Kaspersky Virus Lab , the verdict will be provided when available.

Thanks. I upgraded to Standard and now it works as expected. That website now appears in the listing with the ! beside it, as it should, and there is no premature warning.
