Any one else getting a site warning when entering the site?
McAfee is giving me a red warning about this site.
something must have gone wrong somewhere.
The staff may need to look into this.

Wasn't this a problem before because of specific advertisements?

Well, this crap "McAfee" 'threat analyser' is nothing else but pseudo-informational database which everyone can edit and add stuff ... and then a site gets red flag and that's it. Very simple, really.
What we can read atm:
annoying popups
Alot of 3rd-party cookies, including 2 which are picked up by Norton warning me that they are sending information about your computer to them. Any good site shouldn't be sending information about you, it's just not right. I have an image if you need it.
What we have here ... over-protective Norton & pop ups which are on 90% of sites anyway. I also feel sorry for the guy who wrote 'Any good site shouldn't be sending information about you, it's just not right.' ... I wonder if he has slept for the past decade or something? Seems he doesn't understand what a cookie is, and how non-existent privacy actually is, over the internet.

I have no problem with advertising on web sites. I do have a problem with any advertisment that automaticly plays sounds, drops itself into a page covering content (like dashboardad.com) or makes any attempt to track who you are and where you have been. Which is why I use a 64bit browser, flash don't work.
Most of these "McAfee" red light districts are because of hacked advertising servers. Perhaps the Guru staff should hold them accountable for it, after all they are damaging Guru's rep. Hmmm... Sue the buggers.

There is nothing wrong with the site. They are basing their rating on user reviews. Regardless I will contact Mcafee again about this. Their wonderful site takes about 3+ months to change any rating. That's how up-to-date/accurate they are.

Haha that is just shocking. So glad I don't got McAfee.
