Macafee sec.

[BigBoab]

Tried to enter AnswerBank today but was blocked by my BT sec. system (Macafee) warning me that AB was an unsafe site. This happened three times but is now letting me in. Has this happened to anyone else?

[Dekay]

i have had no probs,running same (BT + macafee)

[Bobbisox]

yes bigboab, I have had the same 3 alerts ???

[leggemessiah]

macafee site advisor does regard answerbank as a risky site due to the lareg amounts of adverts and potential malware on here.
ive been told that orange dont let you on answerbank via mobile internet on your phone, unless you are over 18 because of the content.

Answerbank is riddled with adverts and popups over the lats 6 months.

[BigBoab]

Cheers guys but it has just happened a 4th time, I got in by bypassing the warning

[Bobbisox]

legggy I am with Sky and I got the same warning???

[Bobbisox]

could it be someone is trying to put a virus on thru AB????

[leggemessiah]

boab it will continue
due to the advertising etc on the site

macafee check these sites fro content.
i imagine a lot of the abusive sexual postings here and the regular ones about paedophilia make them think its not the sort of place theyd recommend.
do you get the same if you try yahoo answers as a matter of interest ??


perhapos they are more strict on the abuse?

[leggemessiah]

joy im sure its just the adult content

this site may be in some folks ees a family site

but it seems many companies consider it adukt due to the strong sexual content

[BigBoab]

leggemessiah, I haven't tried it yet but I will

[ummmm]

I'm with Orange and they won't let you on unless you can prove you're 18.

[elcee45]

I got a warning today it McAfee I have

[leggemessiah]

is it surprising ummmmm

the stuff that princess has been posting here fro over 6 nmonths now .until yesterday.and also newsdesk as well.

would you want your kids on here getting paedophillic abuse and all the other crap you see?

i think not.

[BigBoab]

Leggemessiah, as you can see, I got through without problem on Yahoo. Thanks to all who answered.

[elcee45]

Just as I was scrolling down the page to see the last comment the warning came up again!

[leggemessiah]

yes its due to the content and the advertising popups .

[elcee45]

I clicked override is this the correct thing to do?

[DSnewsKE]

MacAfee knows all about about the resident pervert on here.
AB has failed to act on this. MacAfee now consider this site dangerous and have given it an F rating, the highest on its alert system.

[leggemessiah]

theres proof again folks ^^^^^^^^

[craft1948]

ooh must tell my daughter not to use this site again....
