My website http://www.sciencetaks.elementfx.com (free hosting) is recently blocked by Trend Micro Core protection and classified it as as high risk. I use this website to allow my students to take online tests and I don't have any potentially unsafe scripts running. The website didn't have any issues for about 2 months since i first hosted it. Is this issue because someone hacked into my site or is Trend Mirco Core Protection classifying the entire elementfx.com as unsafe? Please advise me on what I need to do so that my students can continue using the website. After I noticed that the website is blocked, I deleted all the files on the server and uploaded new files. I have also contacted Trend Micro Core Protection regarding this issue. I'd appreciate your advice and help.

Thank you,
Paul Varghese

More than likely, abusive users on the *.elementfx.com domain are getting blocked. Trend Micro doesn't block individual sub domains, it blocks the whole domain, most likely. You can try to use another of the free X10Hosting domains or you can buy your own domain. It's only $10 for a year. You can purchase it through X10 (which I HIGHLY recommend. X10 offers the most free features for their registered domains. http://clients.x10hosting.com is the link)

Alternatively, there are many free subdomain hosts out there. CO.CC is the most well known and they are free to non-profit websites. You may find that CO.CC is blocked as well. As with any free service, it is abused.
