McAfee Net Guard lookup? (was Re: Spectrum (California) and Xlorenet (Ontario) blocking web access to single /32 here)

Thanks to those who responded offline.

The problem appears to be McAfee Net Guard which when disabled, allows 
access to the sites

https://sitelookup.mcafee.com/

When I check McAfee's lookup tool, the websites either show as "Minimal 
Risk" or "Unverified".

Does anybody know if Net Guard actually /blocks /on "unverified" or if 
there some other threat feed that it uses that isn't listed on McAfee's 
lookup tool?
