Peter, can you provide the exact URL that safeweb is complaining about? 
I tried a few at https://safeweb.norton.com/ and they all showed up as 
clean.

Also please clarify whether this is what you mean. It's not entirely 
clear whether the download is being scanned or the reputation of the URL 
is in question.

Cheers,
Steve
