OpenDNS classifying plusnet homepages as "Malware"

Within the last couple of days OpenDNS is blocking access to homepages.plus.net. My business website (www.shetland-flyer.co.uk) is hosted by Plus and is now inaccessible to anyone or any organisation using OpenDNS, I have had a customer reporting my site is blocked due to malware which doesn't look very good for any business. Any idea what the story is here and if this is going to be fixed? Never had an issue like this before, and my site certainly doesn't contain any malware!

Very strange, I'm not aware of any changes to our homepages that would cause this. Have you been able to contact OpenDNS about this at all?

Hi Chris,
The security officer for the University of the Highlands and Islands (who use OpenDNS filtering) has requested a review from OpenDNS so we should hear back by tomorrow or Monday hopefully.

My site is certainly now working through OpenDNS, just tried it at the Uni this morning. Cheers for the help guys.
All the best,
