URL:Blacklist

Good morning.  I have been trying to open a website I use regularly and I get a pop-up box that says that it has been infected with URL:Blacklist.  As I can't find any information about this I on the web, I can only assume that someone has blacklisted this website.  Funny thing is I can open it in TOR but not in Brave,  No I won't go back to Chrome.  How can this be fixed please and be aware that you are talking to a basic novice with your program.

Thank you for sharing the screenshot, Helen.

So you are telling me to do this while I'm working!  This problem started after I restarted my computer.  Prior to this, it was working just fine. THAT PIECE OF ADVICE WAS AS GOOD AS USELESS!  I'm not stopping my work, which would mean closing the windows I have open, that I am actively working from, to test your theory.  It's your program failure.  So what is URL:Blacklist anyway?  What exactly does it mean?

We regret the inconvenience caused, Helen.

Google quarantines suspicious websites every day and puts them on a “Google blacklist”.
When a website is added to a blacklist, it means that Google and different search engines are marking the website not secure to visit.
If you suspect the detection is a false positive, we request you to click on this link and submit the URL to our concerned team for analysis.
Thanks in advance.
