Feedback: Mcafee has cf as a malicious site

[mdclone]

McAfee has the security rating as green but the content category is set to malicious, so its blocked at my company now, bummer. You might want to look at getting this changed.

Not sure if this is related, but every time I visit the site - at home or at work - something causes ShockWave to crash and I get some funky error message. I made sure my ShockWave was up to date and the problem persisted.

Shockwave is related to the motion-picture ad at the bottom of the page.

Install AdBlocker and you're good to go. I no longer have Shockwave problems.

I've been having this problem for about the past two weeks as well..I keep getting crash reports about my Flash Plugin on Firefox usually about every 5 to 10 minutes...I've just gotten used to it.

I am having the same problem with McAfee at work and it just started today. Since it is at work I do not have admin rights to change the settings. Bummer..

You guys should be working at work anyway.

Yup. I didnt want to run an ad-blocker so i just killed it with my hosts file. Same result though, no more shockwave crashes.

Yep, we all must work at the same place... :smile:

Also, looks like vBulletin has a current known security issue. And this site is running 3.8.6, which is an older version. Time for the guys at the bottom of the page to get to work updating the site. Have to stay on top of those security patches fellas...

So I can assume you have never been on here during work.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

You would be correct.

I just check it during my lunch hour :wink:

 

[cyclones1]

Same problem for me although I don't think the place I work uses mcafee. Is there anything being done about this? The problem just started last week.

 

[CYCLONE STATE]

same here work and home

 

[cyguytillidie]

I have webroot internet security. It doesn't block me from the site or give me a pop-up warning. It does block some of the adds on here and has them marked as either 'potentially dangerous site' or 'known dangerous site.' It doesn't affect my computer unless I were to click on one of these adds.

 

[isuno1fan]

Norton just warned against malicious content.

Same crap as last year.

Get it fixed please.

 

[ChrisMWilliams]

We are on this guys. Thanks for your input.

For what it's worth, I'm getting McAfee reports on my laptop saying this site is malicious for the first time. When I read the site report, it didn't saying anything other than, "McAfee TrustedSource web reputation analysis found potential security risks with this site. Use with extreme caution."

 

[ChrisMWilliams]

We'll check into this. Pretty sure that we're clean. Could be going off due to recent history but thanks for the report.

 

[isuno1fan]

I got hit with warning multiple times on Sunday, but things have been fine since then.

 

[iowastatefan1929]

ya; this site def has issues.
