Is Windowscentral safe? My antivirus is warning me of this site...

Paul Thurrott of Windows Weekly recommended an anti malware/virus program called Webroot SecureAnywhere so I got it and the program warned me that windowscentral.com has been reported as unsafe. What is going on here?

I decided to move this to the WC subforum.

I would think its safe, over a year frequenting this place hasn't caused any issues or alerts from Avast, which is typically good at these sorts of things.

What else does it say, maybe its a bad ad?

Well I can't see any history option so I just remember it said the website has been reported as unsafe. I've been visiting here a long time, too, so I just wanted to give you guys a heads up in case you wanted to look in to it. I will keep coming here cause I know it's safe.
