McAfee TrustedSource web reputation analysis found potential security risks with this site. Use with extreme caution.


Been visiting this site for years, this just popped up the other day.

McAfee's software doesn't even give a reason why this site is a potential security risk.  This excerpt is taken from their site assessment (emphasis added) "McAfee TrustedSource web reputation analysis found potential security risks with this site. Use with extreme caution."  Reputation is the key word here.  Back when this forum was based on phpBB it was a dumping ground for spammers and eventually got hacked.  I've had no problems since I switched to SMF.  And more recently one of the fragmotion download files registered a false positive for a trojan with several anti-virus programs.  No doubt SiteAdvisor's assessment is somehow factoring in these things.

I contacted McAfee and asked them about that rating.  It appears to be fixed now.
