Feedback: McAfee site advisor has CF flagged as potentially dangerous

I got a virus the other day when I clicked on a bleacher report link that was posted on CF. I was on the phone with Dell for 4 hours to get it off.
McAfee is about the worst antivirus program there is. If it detects even a hint of another antivirus program, ad blocker, spyware detector, registry cleaners, etc. on your computer, it literally locks down your system with no internet access whatsoever and your only recourse is running a system restore. I spent more than 3 hours over two phone calls with their technical support and was charged over $300 just for them to tell me that I would need to for all purposes format the hard drive just to run the program. Needless to say I demanded a refund for the product and my time wasted on the phone with them - fortunately I got it.
I don't like McAfee either, I use Avast at home. This was on my work computer. I just thought CF might want to try and get that changed. The incident was that there was a virus on the site for a while back in early march that infected some people.
With talks of the incident and people being given back time, is this a Lost thread?
Ooops... :embarrassed:
I got my money back - I'm still waiting for McAfee to return my 3 hours... :twitcy:
I use Microsoft Security Essentials...it's free and just as good as every other paid antivirus out there.
What if this is all a scam and C-Willy and the tech guy are running a massive identity theft scheme through CF?

That'a what the gender and age thread were all about!!!!
I wasn't saying there was, I just thought you might want to contact them about getting that changed. Here is the link to site report they have for CF.

Our company just switched to McAfee and that means no more CF for me. I also can't get into new Yahoo mail. Can access via the old but not the new. Anyone else experienced this with McAfee?
