Some if not all anti-virus programs on computers or laptops may have been blocking this site since 7/15/025. After spending hours with tech support and my anti-virus company, it was determined that the IP address used by this site has been hijacked and used for nefarious reasons over the last year or so. Therefore, the address has been put on a blocking list. This site has been scanned for malware and deemed to be free of any infectious files, so in short, the site is completely safe, the only problem is someone using the IP address for nefarious reasons unknown not unlike spoofing a phone number. My provider, Bluehost.com, has not been completely helpful and is supposedly working to clear this up. However, they have not given me a date as to its completion. Most anti-virus software gives you the ability to unblock the site by listing the site in its exclusions which is how I am able to access it. I apologize for any inconvenience and hope to get the issue resolved asap. Thank you.
