Snooping...

Domain 1st Registered: 2012-02-09 (5 years ago)
Server Location: (CA) Canada
Running on: Apache/2.2.22
Powered by: PHP/5.6.30-1~dotdeb+7.1

Websense: Games

Malware: Yes (Community upload of "burnout-paradise-dlc-unlocker" detected as trojan)
Injection: Not detected
Script: Not detected
Blacklisted: Yes (Norton)

Trojan.ADH.2 - A variant of "Win32/HackTool.CheatEngine.AB" potentially unsafe.

The website itself is safe, someone has however uploaded a questionable cheat tool and got it blacklisted (as the host owner should check their uploads).

Short answer: Site is safe, but may contain infected user downloads.

Te Site itself is fine as azza said above. But when norton detects a blacklisted file on a site it will become unsafe.

Because you started with trolling instead of helpful message, maybe that's why?

Welcome to the 2017 internet, everyone is butthurt about everything!

The issue was he was accussing him of 'pirating' Norton and just assuming the blacklist was invalid due to being that software.

Norton got bad rep in the past for being a resource hog and getting false positives. However, it has actually improved greatly since 2016.

Protection against 0-day malware attacks: 100%

Trojan.ADH.2 is a detection technology designed to detect entirely new malware threats without traditional signatures. This technology is aimed at detecting malicious software that has been intentionally mutated or morphed by attackers. This is why it's being triggered, someone has injected malicous code into a CheatEngine app to bypass DLC illegally and probably also backdoors your PC, while also trying to mask it from detection. It's very high risk and either way is illegal. CheatEngine can even trigger off a VAC ban on Steam, as it modifies your game's memory.

The fact is Norton was correct, there's malware on that website, but just blacklisted the lot (probably because someone reported it), rather than just warning of that user download(s).

You should get the web host to firstly clean up it's user's downloads and then contact Norton to have it removed from blacklisting.
