    If the Democrats had been in power when this country was founded, we'd be the British.

      My son is an IT thank God since I'm computer stupid. He said Sophos, Eset are good but we use MSE with a hardware firewall if this helps. I have never had a problem with my set up. He does not recommend Norton or McAffee.

        at work we use eset, seems to be ok

        norton and mcafee are so bloated they slow a machine way too much

          I just started getting the message from McAfee today.

          Sometimes it is based on the IP number. If your IP number has changed, and it is now the number of a previous bad site, you can get this.

          The current IP number is 50.116.64.22. I checked on some blacklist sites and it was flagged by two blacklists in Denmark: spamsources.fabel.dk and dev.null.dk

          You may need to contact those sites and get un-blacklisted.

            That IP is owned by bluehost.com. It seems safe to ignore this warning. Might be worth opening a ticket on this and see if they won't give you a different IP.

                    I suspect McAffee thinks playing with guns is "risky behavior".

                        Every time I come here Firefox (upgraded this week) warns me this site is not secure and my login and password can be stolen.
                        Don't get that anywhere else. Does it matter?

                          In retrospect, so long as you are not keeping bank account, passwords, and other sensitive info on the forum...no, it is not that big a deal.

                            It means the information you are posting is not encrypted.

                                Just don't post any personal information as Sticks said.
                                This is a public forum anyway, so all information posted can be read by anyone.
