arche_757 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 So I get a warning that this forum is dangerous to visit from Macafee safe search. Just wondering if others get this, or if this is something that is new?Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I wouldn't worry about it. It's a false alarm, which is to be expected from a piece of software that Runs on Windows Is made by a company that makes its money off scaring people with false alarms. Google monitors HAIF almost continually (at least once per minute it seems), and it gives HAIF a clean bill of health. People who know me know that I'm not a big fan of Google. But in a situation like this I trust Big G far more than McAffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livincinco Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 It's obviously not scaring us off, since we're here, but I'm sure that there are others who don't come to the site because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'm not worried so much as just wanted to point this out. I have AVG safesearch at home (versus MacAfee at work) and it hasn't detected anything unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchFan Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I've had similar warnings (don't recall the exact wording, though) using Norton 360 under Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 If anyone sees any warnings in the future, please pass along a screenshot to me so I can try to figure out how to make it stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
