    Why does McAfee give this site

    a security warning? I am ignoring it, but it could scare some away.
    Informational purposes only.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..

    McAfee is a freaking ponsey scheme of getting money from site owners. There system is flawed due to them having this as a revenue scheme for them. I don't buy into there system.

    I have sent them several emails over a year ago when this crap came out and I sent another one recently.

    I have no answer other then our website is not problematic when it comes to what they accuse us of doing awhile back.

    Yep, I'm switching away from them when my subsription runs out- I got malware from one of their "green" sites because the GD real time scanning turns itself off while it's updating and doesn't even tell you you're not being protected temporarily.

    I had to go to a Vista restore point to clean it out too- McCaffe couldn't do it.

    Ever since I switched over to Microsoft Security Essentials, I've not had problems since.

    McAfee and Symantec both used to mess with my computer badly for some reason.
