Is Cable Forum really dangerous?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes anyway!
For the last few days, every time I go to the Cable Forum website on my PC, my Kaspersky Internet Security blocks it, telling me I'm at risk of a "Threat of Data Loss". I can tell it to let me in anyway but then every few seconds it's flashing up more warnings. It's VERY irritating.
AFAIK I haven't changed any settings, can anyone shed any light as to what's going on please?

Re: Is Cable Forum really dangerous?

Antivirus software often has false positives. I had this a lot with Kaspersky, but they're all affected really.

Nowadays I just use an Ad blocker, Windows' built-in antivirus, always do software updates, and apply common sense when browsing the internet and downloading stuff, and I've not had a virus in years.

Same problem using Malwarebytes - what is going on?

Hopefully, after those idiots screwed it up.

Closing this as we have a topic on this already.
