What on earth?! Websense warning page coming up on safari

[360interactive]

I've got a problem with my macbook. For years i've been using a test domain for certain projects. Today upon trying to visit using Safar, I get a nice URL with the following:

The link may not be safe.
For your security, we’d like to analyze it further using Websense real-time analysis.

The URL is:

http://webdefence.global.blackspider.com

I can't access my site at all but other sites are fine. I've checked with my host and they can access it, so i'm coming to the conclusion that malware is on my mac maybe?!

I don't use web sense and when I click on 'do not scan' it tells me I can close the page but then still do nest give me access.

Any ideas?

The link may not be safe.​

Just tried Chrome and loads fine, so i'm guessing Safari is infected which is worrying. Any ideas on how to do a sweep for malware and pop ups etc?

But it is happening in Chrome, getting very confused...

try and pin point it to your machine first, are you able to try pointing to the address via another device/pc on the same network?

Rather embarrassingly the issue was that I was launching the link from an email that my client had sent me. They use Websense and it seems that the software there end had changed the URL despite the displayed url being the same. When typing in the URL direct it loaded fine!

Interestingly after installing AVG it found 15 viruses in my Microsoft outlook folders, probably not affecting my machine but must have come from spam emails somehow?

We all have those moments! Glad it was sorted in the end.

It is not a problem mate you can read below why it happens

Websense Data Security can operate alone in the network, or be paired with Websense. From the Today page, you can see any system alerts and act on them quickly and easily as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari
