      One page on our event's website is currently classified by Netcraft and Opera as a Malicious site on virustotal.com

      The webpage in question is:
      https://www.chicagomarathon.com/event-information/volunteers/group-leader-application/

      The above page is NOT a malicious site.

      How can I report a malicious site false positive to Opera?

      I try submitting a request in the Bug Tracking portion of the Opera site. An automated reply email indicated that I should look in the Opera forum for guidance on this kind of issue.

        Opera uses Netcraft, so I think you have to contact them, it's not an Opera issue. Firefox and Chrome warn you as well.

        Strangely here don't see any warning about that page:

        http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chicagomarathon.com%2Fevent-information%2Fvolunteers%2Fgroup-leader-application%2F

        And I couldn't find a way to report false positives, only this:

        https://www.netcraft.com/security-testing/false-positives/

        You can report false positives here:

        https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_error/

          That's it. Netcraft is the one that should be contacted as they were the ones who added the page to the 'blacklist'.
