I've tried accessing this site and Patriots.win on two different computers. I can get into Kotakuinaction2 but not any other .win sites. It is being blocked as containing phishing software. I reported it as a false positive to AVG but in case someone has infected the sites with phising software, or a jackass is intentionally trying to get it blocked in security software, I figured people should know.

"Free" Antivirus tends to be pretty shit. Windows Defender is usually enough for most normies.
If you are going to use an antivirus, the one I'd recommend is BitDefender. A lot of other AV utilities use it like a base (think of Chromium vs Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave Browser etc) so why not just use the original browser.
I remember using AVG and Avast and they were both notorious for false positives.
This kind of thing is what VPNs were created to work around. I use one when I'm sailing the high seas, but if I were behind a fire wall that blocked coming here, I'd be using a VPN to get around it.
Fuckin n00bs. Accusing us of hax just cut they're losing.
I get the same thing.
Also, in Canada, Rogers and all its subsidiaries are down. This is affecting debit cards (but not, for some reason, credit cards on more or less the same network.) The only reason I have service is because I have Telus at home, but my mobile is Fido (and is down as soon as I leave the range of my wi-fi.)
I got it to allow the site by directly adding them to an allowed list in my settings, but having it start saying it was a phishing site out of nowhere was suspicious.
