    McAfee problem

    McAfee Enterprise is blocking me at work. Says an unacceptable security risk is posed by this site. McAfee security rating red. Posting this from my phone. @EvilGreebo @lexnaturalis

    No idea why McAfee reports a problem. Google safe site says we're fine and most others say we're untested. Personally I dislike McAfee in general. Too bloated.
    If you're having trouble logging in or any other tech support issues, or if you have a question about the software, please post them in the Visitor's Corner.
    If you need to reach me about something more private, please contact me via private message.

    Reaching out to me privately may not result in a quick response. Posting in the Visitor's Corner ensures other staff members will see your post as well and may be able to help you more quickly.

    Also, as far as I know, none of the staff here are psychics, so if you are reporting an issue, and want help, then please take the time to be as detailed as possible. The more effort you put into describing the problem, the more we'll put into solving it.

    Me too. But no one in corporate IT asked my opinion.

    I had the same problem with Sophos at work from yesterday. Out IT guy contacted them, and this was the reply:

    When checking www.debtfreefanatics.com we looked at many factors, such as the ownership details, location, popularity and other sites relating to reviews, threats, phishing etc. Although a site like may have a high trust rating, it's worth just checking the countries involved as these could indicate that goods would be shipped from abroad rather than your home country.


    The internet is populated with many fake and scam sites - with many being created daily purely to look genuine. Even many review sites are tainted with fake reviews making it almost impossible for somebody to detect a safe site from a scam. We attempt to analyse the website information and provide a trust guide that will help you determine the risk rating of the debtfreefanatics.com website.

    That's about as useless an answer as possible.

    Basically it's a false positive report. Probably not a lot we can do without trying to contact each vendor and asking them to do a manual review. Kind of a pain.

    I know it's useless, it doesn't even relate to what DFF is or does. But clearly someone in the industry has picked it up as a "bad site" for whatever reason.

    Use your Smartphone to connect via wifi and then visit the site?

    Seriously, I'm getting the same error. I just ignored it. I have that option at home. I figure that if Lex or Greebo wanted my computer to get a virus, I would have received it long ago.
