False positive mal/HTMLgen-a

Airiq
Hi im new to Sophia and I wanted to see if the site Checkwebsitesafe.com was a safe site. When checked virus total, it said tha Sophos said it was malicious. I checked other safe URL checking sites and most said it was fine. Only Anubis malware said it was bad. This is the link to the scan report-http://anubis.iseclab.org/?action=result&task_id=15d6e5628029555a4898bdb3d425733ee&format=html and I had a discussion on the clamxav forums which has more info-http://www.markallan.co.uk/BB/viewtopic.php?t=2916&sid=0cc1a50ada0196e8889b07191719ae88 thanks if someone can help me out with this

    I think i might have found the answer myself. After looking/hovering over each of the items, it was info taken from virus total which is where you said it was a false positive? This means that it was irrevelant i guess. But 1 more quiestion, He said that it was a false report right? or was it just malware that was cleaned the next day? Edit: also I have a general question, when I checked virus total for that site a while ago, it said it was malicious. Then a week or so later, the warning disappeared. Did it take that long to disappear or is there a wait time before a site can be taken down as malicious or false positive?
