Is localendar.com Safe?

localendar support here: Thanks to everyone who has entered a Good comment to support the site. We have been around for 11+ years providing calendaring services and are most definitely not a phishing or scam site. The "localendar.com/public/bigass" mentioned on that 2009 malware report is a member-created calendar that was promptly removed. All of our content is user-generated. As with any web publishing site (calendars, blogs, forums, etc) there is always a risk a member will post bad links, etc. We try to police this information as diligently as possible. Nevertheless, we recommend a good AV program, OpenDNS, etc to be completely secure.

Seems those who down-rated localendar either have never visited the site (relying on another blacklisted site for the information), have a competing website (ie, another calendar site, hence they are down-rating it to make theirs look good), have no clue about how/where they got their malware, or it was a link posted on someone's calendar that contained a malware link. I have used this site for YEARS, and NEVER have had a problem. Then again, I also use Adblock Plus on Firefox, and MOST malware never gets thru anyhow.

A very reputable site I frequently access has a link to this calendar. I clicked on that link and WOT prevented me from accessing the calendar site. I read the postings from other WOT users. I was reticent about overriding the WOT warning, but did so anyhow. MalwareBytes, SpyBot, Defender, McAfee, and Norton have never found any issues on my computer since I first accessed this localendar site. If I ever get a stinger from this website I will respost and tag the calendar with a SHAME to let you know... Cheers, Bobby

Calendaring site -- maybe some calendars have poor content. The one entry in malware domain was from 2009 on one of their "public" calendars. The do have a privacy policy, but I could not easily find their terms of service, so it may be possible to create a "public" calendar and place questionable content on it. If you know the organization that is maintaining the calendar you are going to view, you are probably OK, otherwise you may get malware of NSFW or NSFC content.
