Did ustvgo.tv go "malicious"? Or is it my anti-virus?

Been using ustvgo for about two years just for MSNBC, CNN, TBS, Science, etc. Cut the satellite back then.

The only problem, liveable, was the frequent buffering, occasional not connecting a channel at all. It was always advertising the NORD VPN, never used it.

On the whole, fine for what I needed. Yesterday on the android got a *DANGEROUS* page, let it go, didn't use it. Tried it today and got the same thing. In the antivirust/Trend, there was a link for "taking the risk" and connecting it anyway, but it wouldn't let me.

Tried the Bookmark on the laptop and it connected to ustvo fine with no *DANGEROUS* page.

There was another Trend link for "reassigning" the category, went through those steps and nothing changed. Called Trend and went 45 minutes with tons of communication problems, the tech focused on installing the Trend toolbar. Tech said the lack of toolbar is why the ustvgo link was linking o.k. (Doesn't sound like anything.)

The tech left in dead silence for about 5 minutes to ask somebody. Can't even remember all the rigmarole details now. At the end she said that the reason for the *DANGEROUS* warning was that some user somewhere had reported the website as dangerous for whatever phishing or malware or whatever. She repeated the "reason."

At the end, the tech said nothing could be done. I tried connecting by ignoring the warning but the Trend wouldn't let the link pass.

Anybody? tia

Junky looking interface with a lot of ads, but if you just expand the view, they disappear. Good luck!
