Issue: *Gasps*Site Unsafe?

[Manga]

Well,I was browsing through PC & the page disappeared & it went All Red & My McAfee Popped up saying "SITE UNSAFE!"


I'm wondering if Anyone else got this problem..




My pop-up blocker is off btw.(Incase it could've been the problem for me..)



Maybe it's the Ads?

It's one of those "fake positives" from McAfee. Just turn on your pop-up blocker, and make an exception to the site in the program [I assume McAfee has such a feature].

can you provide the page url you were on? PC is scanned daily and HAS NO VIRUSES or malware popups anywhere on it.

Perhaps someone linked to something bad (and we need to delete it) or you have a virus already that is triggered by browsing certain keywords.

Maybe..But,I wasn't typing anything.
I was viewing this user's profile and was about to type in something in the VM bar thingy and it brought up the Mcafee...

Yeah, that's gotta be a false positive. My AVG doesn't pick up anything. I can open that link just fine :]

McAfee sucks, by the way

In my experience with web development, false positives or actual positives are generally generated by ads or other auto-generated non-site specific/third-party content.

Some antivirus software is more 'sensitive' to certain triggers than others; I would guess that an advert or YouTube/external embedded link probably triggered McAfee.

If not, then it might have been another web page you were browsing and McAfee took a while to kick in and go, "Oh HEY!"

It's my profile page, too. =/

There's nothing on my page that should flag as a virus, and as well nothing pops up through my anti-virus.
