Indeed.

I checked the rep thing and all it listed was:

Technical Information
Shareware/Freeware

In any case, there is a dispute form to fill in if your site has been categorized incorrectly.

I'm sure Norton/McAfee have the same thing for their web filtering products.

The real question is how long it will take Microsoft to fix this as that will determine the usefulness of the Microsoft security product for its intended purpose.
