Yes there is an issue as far as McAfee is concerned just on the home page. There is something it doesnt like on one of the ads I imagine.

a few years ago i got rogue anti-virus infections from this site.
i know it came from here because it happened many times on different computers. the rogue was one of those viruses that claims to be a program that removes viruses and screws up your computer and tries to get you to pay to remove the virus, which is really the program telling you it is an anti-virus.
caused all kinds of trouble with a work computer. i was able to hit the restore button on my personal computers in time and go into restore mode and stop the virus. my anti-virus programs didn't stop it.
got malwarebytes pro and haven't had any virus that adversly affected me since.
every now and then this site still triggers a warning that an infection was stopped.
to indy and beyond!!

When I checked it came back with nothing. It may be the twitter box that is kicking back to some. That and the temp box at the top are the only things that aren't just basic html and images. The hosting company in PA also checks the image and html files I up-load. The way I do this site is older than some people reading this. It might not like the over 10 year old copy of MS Front Page.

What I found is apparently if any of my advertiser links and sites have problems then it kicks back to me. I can't control any of their sites.

i run KASPERSKY, one of the best out there. Nothing here, Mc Affee, Norton, bout the same stuff.
if you use a "free" download i believe you get what you pay for!!
Ascot was the greatest of all time..
West Capital wasn't half bad either..

Right Dean... and "might be" are the same words the lawyers (yes, plural) for my ex-wife used to me and I didn't listen then either!
