I just got a McAfee alert that DU was a dangerous site first time I have seen that.

4. DU is VERY DANGEROUS.

If you're not used to thinking for yourself.

[Scuba]

12. +1

[gordianot]

14. The only person who thinks I am dangerous is my very Republican brother in law when he made threats.

5. Norton and Kaspersky still love DU

and they're both better AV programs.

7. Was it on one thread in particlar or the entire site? Maybe a picture linked was from a 'bad place'?

Just guessing....

9. Sometimes ads that pop up on my DU page

can be of a questionable nature.

Like the ad for a hentai game site that I saw the other day...

13. It specifically referenced DU did it once stated that this site exhibited risky behavior.

I went on McAfee site do not see any concerns and have not seen it since. No conspiracies suspected on my part but I found it peculiar, in the years I have used McAfee this has only happened 4 or 5 times never on DU and you could find out why it happened. I did allow an exception to continue on DU.

8. I've been getting notices in the past couple days that the certificate is bad nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. I have McAfee

I've never received such a warning.

[JaneyVee]

11. Ironic, considering McAfee is dangerous man.

15. Probably a compromised ad somewhere. (nt)

[gordianot]

16. No ads on my page, but could be an ad. According to McAfee site advisor DU is trusted.

[Posteritatis]

17. Ads are usually hosted on other servers

And, being ads, they're ideal targets for attackers. If a site gets compromised, or even a specific ad on a site, there'll be a couple of days where every other website that uses that ad server will get flagged by antivirus software.

My AV will occasionally freak out at me with sites I know absolutely for certain are safe; it's usually because an ad server they use got owned. The ad itself doesn't even have to appear on the site you're looking at; the software can just go "Danger, Will Robinson!" from the association.

18. Omg. I just got one when I

checked your profile page.

It's coming from inside the house.
