frogspawn Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I like the new look of the forum but I'm currently accessing it on an Android device because McAfee SiteAdviser on my PC is blocking access on the grounds that it is unsafe...

JimLucas Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I like the new look of the forum but I'm currently accessing it on an Android device because McAfee SiteAdviser on my PC is blocking access on the grounds that it is unsafe... Is there a way to ask McAfee just what about it they consider "unsafe"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogspawn Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 It just says "When we visited the site, we found it exhibited one or more risky behaviors." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogspawn Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Their actual site report says they didn't find any significant problems. The owner needs to leave a comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoover Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Maybe playing concertina is the risky behavior they're concerned about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene S. Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I've had the same problem. Accessing the site itself - no real problems, but as soon as you go to one of the various pages within the site it gives you the "Whoa! Are you sure you want to do that" screen. Friends have advised that they have no problem with the site with their security software from other schemes, so I have overridden the warning screen. Probably would be a good idea for one of the site admins to leave a message on the McAfee site to try and clear this problem up ?(Strangely enough, McAfee seems to dislike West Country Concertinas now ... maybe it is a concertina related bias!)

frogspawn Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 The problem seems to have gone away as mysteriously as it appeared. Although I wouldn't expect Cnet to be dangerous, I feel very uneasy about ignoring a warning. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene S. Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It hasn't gone away here ... McAfee still showing a red warning . I wonder why the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
