Chrome now classifying my Proscan web server page as dangerous

So, this is new. I just checked my Proscan web server page in Chrome and I get a red "DANGEROUS" screen. This is not the "Not Secure" that you get with non-https pages but rather a dangerous classification.

Chrome's blurb for "dangerous" is:

Dangerous: Avoid this site. If you get a full-page red warning screen, the site has been flagged as unsafe by Safe Browsing. Using the site will likely put your private information at risk.

If I select to view source on the page, I get this...

Deceptive site ahead
Attackers on XXXXXXXXXXXX may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing your personal information (for example, passwords, phone numbers, or credit cards).

I'm running 20.7.

Any thoughts about why this suddenly showed up today. I've never had a problem before and the page displays exactly the same as it always has.

No but this is not a "not secure" warning. Google has deemed that the page is attempting a phishing scheme to collect personal information according to the site detail info.

Looking at my ProScan web page with Chrome now. I've started the webserver with HTTP (no certificate), and then with HTTPS, and not seeing any warnings when viewing the web page.

I'm currently using Chrome Version 112.0.5615.138 and ProScan 20.7.

I don't see it with Chrome. http is redirected to https.
Can you provide a screenshot. Maybe your computer is infected.

It's unavoidable with me. It places a red blocking page when I go and I have to then choose to continue.

I don't have a security certificate associated. I just checked Windows Security and it shows nothing detected.

There's nothing on the page asking for information. Just the usual display.

I've attached the screenshot.

Have any other browsers you can try? What do they say?
As I noted above, I've never used anything but Chrome until now. I just checked with Edge and it's fine but that would be expected if its never seen it before. The message is coming from Google's analysis system from a crawler visit.

It's showing safe in the Google Safe Browsing site status.

{edit} I see the URL is blocked out. Are you going to proscan.org

{edit} I think I misunderstood. You are using the ProScan Web Server. Are you using a no IP service?

I submitted a waiver in their system. I have no idea how long or if it will be released.
Try entering your ProScan web page address in the Google link Bob gave just above your last post and see what that says... it might give a little more info if that page flags it.

If I look at the IP address there, it says no available data. If I look at the domain I have related to it I get the message and it says that it was updated today which would explain why I'm suddenly seeing it today.
