The browser police have gotten very strict and corporate oriented they flag things as phishing or malware very easily nowadays and one of their red flags is an absence of modern chksums and when they do they put up big red blocking pages. I've been trying to un-blacklist my personal website for about a week. Finally convinced google that my alias manager and web mail weren't phishing sites. Still working on some of the others.
They also don't like bare apache auto index pages.Apparently they've decided a 1000 false positives of broke independent operators is better than one false negative victim with a lawyer.
