    EggXpert evaluation from McAfee SiteAdvisor

    Please be advised, I like it here and I trust it here and I'll keep coming here, but McAfee SiteAdvisor gives you their red status and says I should tread cautiously here.

    "When we tested this site we found links to mediaplex.com, which we found to be a distributor of downloads some people consider adware, spyware or other potentially unwanted programs."

    I'm not scared of the internet and I don't suppose most folks that come here are, either, but I figured this info should be offered. Thanks!

    ... it's McAfee.  So what if there are links.  You still gots ta click 'em, right?  FishTank doesn't show much, and it doesn't come up in Opera, so I'm cool. :)

    The links are probably in posts, anyways - there's no way to know since they didn't specify. *grr*

    I'm da Man. :)

    Eggxpert on Opera - check the thread.

    Beetfield, 

    Thanks for the heads up! Yes

    Im sure as the site transitions out of beta, such bugs will worked out.

    The new staff is very busy working on all manner of improvements for the site...ComputerRight HugWhip

    Keep an eye out as that happens and let us know if our status improves! Wink

    I really would not worry about where McAfee rates anything, there have been known issues with their SA system since day one. It's par for their course.

    I pointed this out in May.

    A Firefox add-on called noscript also picks up mediaplex.com so its not just McAfee.
