The stuff below doesn't "explain" anything - there are few / no facts, and just conjecture / handwaving / brushing it off... IF you are ok to use web2py for internal work (e.g. can ask your IT dept. what triggered this, and how it happened without negative repercussions), then find out how this stuff gets on the list. If the answer is "someone reported it" - then ask to have it taken off (not much more we can do); If the answer is "on an automated list we use to block suspicious sites" - then ask what the source of that list is; we can inquire and try to get this off of broadcast security lists like this; If the answer is "we have an automated tool that looks for patterns that signal malware" - then find out what the tool / rev is; we probably need to investigae / reproduce, and see if something simple in what is being sent "over the wire" needs to be modified.
