I have been trying to access a particular page on a vendor's site (www.keebforce.com) and have been getting a blocking message from Bitdefender for Phishing attempts. The main site loads fine w/o warnings, this seems to only happen when I try to access some of the subpages.
After some digging it seems the site owner has had issues in the past with false positives. So, on the surface the site could very well be safe but how do I know for sure before whitelisting it?
After some further searching I ran across a youtube recommending a web-based site www.virustotal.com to validate or check suspicious threats. I entered the main page url and the subpage url www.keebforce.com/su75-pro and it echo'd the results I got on my own pc showing Bitdefender as flagging the subpage for phishing, that said out of all the other protections bitdefender is the only one showing this page as not being clean. This gives me some hope that it is in fact safe. Still, I wonder how do I properly check?
Normally, I'd just pass on trying to visit the page. However, this is a sole source vendor for a product I would like to purchase. And before going and clicking away and entering my information I'd like to obtain some reassurance before intentionally whitelisting a site and entering my CC info.
So, the underlying question I have remains, is the site safe and how do I validate a potential false positive before white listing it?
