    McAfee Siteadvisor ?

    I notice that my McAfee Siteadvisor shows up grey when I visit this forum. Green indicates the site is good and safe. Is it grey because of all the scary firearms talk, or because the Coalition for Gun Control says it should be?

    What can we do to make it green, can we contact McAfee and get it changed?

    Have you been to other forums on other topics?

    Is it a result of the software used to run this place perhaps?
    Questions about CSSA? Ask me.

    I think it is just a problem with my new version of McAfee. The old version showed almost all sites as green, to the point that I would not even go on a site that wasn't green. This new version even shows Government of Canada sites as grey. I guess I'll just ignore it.

    I would suspect that this software simply uses a database of know sites and this site is not in it. Those programs are just to give you a warm feeling and are quite useless. If you can't judge for yourself you will not be protected. In my opinion it is like banning guns to protect people.

    I wouldn't trust them either
    Why is every time Harper opens his mouth, I feel less right wing?
