Sounds like a whitelist of URLs to check against the blacklist would be appropriate here. I know that content-filtering company 8e6 had a problem over 2 years ago with some good well-known sites. Somewhere around that time they hardcoded categories for the top 500 sites, so that if something slipped through the cracks again, the impact would be smaller.

This morning whilest Googling, I got a bunch of "Permission Denied" to "/interstitial?..." URLs on Google.
Then all my search results got listed as "This site may harm your computer."
Is Google broken, or is the functionality of listing sites as broken, broken?
