Exploit blackhat SEO (type 1703) is the exact wording and it pops up in the AVG box as a threat. Which also says threat is removed but any web browser (chrome and firefox) I use on this PC tells me that the web page is unavailable therefore it doesnt load it. All other PC's in my house I can get to the site.

Do other PCs have also AVG installed?

Obviously there is some AVG issue as I can access that site with no problem and it's listed by WOT in green.

Im sorry so long but the other pc's do not have AVG on them. I tried going through the settings of the program and see if that address was on some type of block list but I do not see anything of the sort.
