I don't use McAfee so can't comment there, but MSE isn't yelling at me.

Hey JDvikes, I believe that you are the primary advocate for this site. Do you know why i am getting warnings that this site is "potentially dangerous or suspicious".

Obviously, messing up my computer is not worth posting on a specific site.

Yeah, no clue why it would give you any warning expect for from the espn rss maybe? Or the chat which is probably java, but is disabled but "tecchnically" still here. Other than that, no clue. Enjin is HUGE and is set up to be beyond safe from malicious stuff.

I use Avast and malwarebytes, things are good on my end.

Maybe the software is referring to the actual posters on here!

LOLOL, I wonder if it considers the shout box as dangerous? But you have to register to post, so not sure why that would be. I mean you site must be looking different than others if it is blocking something, maybe screen shot it and compare home pages? Idk, but I assure you it is safe.

Hah, I read the title "McCafe" and was really confused. Your problem is not serious. I used to get that all the time, but it rarely meant anything. You have to be really unlucky to get a virus on a board like this.
