According to the PC-Cillin website it does not believe that
anonymizer.com is a dangerous website.

However upon closer inspection I believe that is has been detected as
such because of the way anonymizer works.

It prevents any information being passed from your PC to any websites
you use and connect to.

I have used anonymizer.com many times and I have never had a problem,
I would guess that it is a heristics detection problem.

If you would like to stop the erroneous detection I would advise you
change your Antivirus to something such as www.nod32.com.

If it really is a 'heuristics' malfunction, you can try adding the
site to your pc-cillin's list of safe websites. That should solve the
problem. Please dont switch to another antivirus too hastily,
especially, if you are happy with pc-cillin.
