That means if a Website does not have a category. A category are the list you are seeing, for example Government, Health and Medicine, etc. If the website you visit, www.thisisjustforfun.com, does not have a category assigned, then it would fall in this category.

Normally uncategorized are newer websites popping up. Well known sites are categorized, thus uncategorized are somewhat seen as less secure.

You are correct.

Most websites will have a category, if a new websites comes up, and it is not categorized by the URL Filtering service, it will uncategorized.

If the website is legitimate, you can always open an SR to have TAC get the website categorized.
