The dispute has been filed. Still haven't heard back yet.

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.

Yep.

I am getting the same error at work. Macafee is telling me there is a potential virus. I wrote it off as our Company trying to control what I look at. Apparently it's not my company.

What was the incident?

If you win the dispute, does that mean more coupons?

Is this why I can't get on from work anymore. As of I think it was middle last week, work has CF flagged as a "malicious" site.

There's a thread on Cyclonefanatic about former female childhood actors and I clicked on the link within that thread yesterday. I picked up a virus from this link and now my desk top has to be whiped clean. I recommend folks stay completely away from that thread.

That happened to me at work about 6 weeks ago. Of course for now, I can still get on through a jump server when I want to see whats going on.

And we're back!!

I have WOT (Web of Trust), which is an open source plug-in for Firefox that warns you when you try to load a website that fails one or more of it's four rating components:

Trustworthiness
Vendor reliability
Privacy
Child safety

This site has the lowest rating in all four categories. Usually when you get a WOT warning, you want to stay away from that site. I'm not sure why this site gets those low ratings. WOT has kept me away from potential trouble. I normally don't like ignoring it's warning, but this site is the only exception. I feel better if it graded out safer.
