Asked By Tracy Killen 50 points N/A Posted on - 09/11/2012

Hi experts,

I have been receiving an alert message “Warning! Accessing this website is not allowed. ” though like VM, my host DNS is the same. After getting this warning, I have changed my DNS server on the VM to different servers, but still, I am getting the warning.

Presently my PC is running with Windows and Norton DNS.

Windows XP (I have tried altering DNS server to a dissimilar ones but received the same warning)

Alert from Norton DNS on VM:

Anyone have idea regarding this issue. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Every website has a certificate which means that the website follows the rules and regulations and does not release any of your data to third party websites. If a website does not have such a certificate then it is highly untrusted and will be blocked by your antivirus and firewall. Most of the web browsers also detect such websites and will block the website from opening.

To protect you from spam and to protect you data from theft, many safety features are being added to web browsers and antivirus softwares. These tools block untrusted and suspicious websites from being opened so that your data is protected.

You should not try to visit the websites that have been blocked by your antivirus or firewall. However, if you know that the website is a trusted one and are willing to take the risk, you can visit it by disabling the antivirus and firewall.

Hope this information helps you.
