The domain name you have purchased has come with a bit of 'history' attached to it. If you are confident that there is nothing untoward or harmful going on with the site at the moment you can visit
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/url
enter your domain name
Note down the names of each of the providers that comes up with a malware warning (at time of writing there were 12 of them warning of malware, phishing etc.)
Visit the web site of each of those providers showing a warning and find the page for submitting false positive reports for your domain name.
Once the providers re-check your site (assuming there is nothing wrong with it now) it will be de-listed and the reputation of your site will improve when you re-run it through VirusTotal.
You can also request unblocking by VM as per contact info at message #2 below
A route for Vodafone unblocking is less clear but you can try on the Vodafone forum

Blocked also by both Firefox and Edge and on a number of blacklists too.
Put the address in here : https://www.ssltrust.co.uk/ssl-tools/website-security-check wait for the results to see the challenge.

Put your URL into
and it shows VM and Vodafone are blocking the URL
Put your URL into
https://www.ssltrust.co.uk/ssl-tools/website-security-check
and it returns 7 positives for malware/spam so (if you think your site is clear of these issues) you should submit false positive reports to the organisations flagging your site name.

This is quite suspect for sure.
