suspicious IP address

For the last several days McAfee has blocked the following IP address 52.216.241.14 as being suspicious. When I Google searched this IP address FF lit up with a red warning message. What's up with this address? Also, is there a better forum to get more information about this address? Thanks

That's the same here: ipinfo

But not much said at the: McAfee Threat Center

Maybe a false positive?

I Google searched it again in FF and, again, I got a big red FF warning page saying deceptive site ahead and that FF blocked it like McAfee. So I don't know at this point. Should I contact McAfee or another forum?

If it's a false positive at McAfee why would I get a red warning page from FF saying deceptive site ahead and FF blocked it?

If it's a false positive at McAfee . . .

You should inform them of this issue.

I contacted Mcafee (trusted source) and they reviewed and acknowledged that this site is safe. They will be updating their ratings for this site. Thanks
