    Attention Admin - McAffe has flagged this site for some reason

    I went to log in this morning and McAfee flagged it as "Risky Behavior".

    First time, and I visit every morning.

        I can still access it on my phone.

        But here is what appears if I try to view the website at work.

        Sent an email to the address listed.

                  Shoot I just found out my old ex employer is buying AR's for certain lucky individuals... I finally regret not working there! But they probably block those web sites as well! Lol. Was such a Hippocratical co... Place was hilarious! Clueless then and they are clueless now. I'll give you a hint all of our lives depend on them.. if you work for them don't go asking around to much if they find out they WILL stop it!

                    I got the same warning from McAfee. I think the network admins need to look into this, at a minimum explain what is happening, and hopefully make some changes so that this warning doesn't continue. I'm not very comfortable overriding the av software on an ongoing basis.

                      Only the owner can do that kind of background check.

                          Do a search on McAffee or most of the other anti-virus programs. It and Norton, AVG, and other bloatware have pretty bad reputations, and have so dating back for many years.

                          Most PCs come with some kind of outdated bloatware garbage anti-virus program that hackers have cracked long ago, and everyone in the security industry laughs when they hear Norton, McAffee, and other bundled programs designed to raise the margins for large PC manufacturers.

                          There is also an effort to make it more difficult to view firearms related websites, but this is usually done with employers' servers and business servers.

                            So, are there any good anti-virus solutions out there?

                              I am more than a bit of a computer nerd. Did I mention that my favorite number is pi? I've been writing code for 35 years and have been using Norton for as long as I can remember. Last company I worked for had McAffe for a while and it was fine but they switched to Norton. I've also heard good things about Kaspersky and Bitdefender. If you don't want Norton then one of those two would be fine.
