Mcafee Site Advisor and Instant Cert forum
#1
How come today i noticed that my Mcafee site advisor is telling me that this site is unsafe?
It states Browser Exploit detected by hpHosts Online between July and September 2009 and listed at their web site

Anyone know?
thanks

I noticed this, too. I hope it gets worked out. I might not have tried this site if I had seen this warning. It would be a shame for others to miss out on this wonderful place!

That is McAfee's way of telling you that you should be using Trend Micro Internet Security instead. Wink

Seriously, I have known McAfee to cry wolf, but unless you updated the software just before it started this, then something must have changed with this site and I do wonder exactly what.

My Firefox and internet security are not having this issue.

It's not related to McAfee virus protection. Site Advisor is an optional add-on for surfing the web that says whether a website can be trusted. Here is the warning page:

degreeforum.net | McAfee SiteAdvisor Software – Website Safety Ratings and Secure Search

I don't know why this suddenly became a problem.
