Just as a heads up, McAfee is screaming that "This website is unsafe! We have scanned this website and determined that it contains malicious software or links to malicious websites. Proceed at your own risk,"

I haven't investigated it yet, but I'm thinking one or more of the advertisers here has been hacked or hijacked for redirects. Might want to look into it. I know McAfee maintains a "Black List" of compromised websites and sends it to all the search engines. The search engines will not display your website if it's on the Black List.

Edit: Add every time I click on a new page now, I'm getting "We tested this page and blocked content that comes from potentially dangerous or suspicious sites. Allow this content only if you’re sure it comes from safe sites."

Interesting...

I use McAfee and haven't seen it pop up about anything here at all.

You sure it's not something on your computer?

If you have opened a thread that contained a link to an external site that Mcafee didn't like, it's possibly may flagged the whole site as potentially unsafe. Antivirus programs can be a little over-zealous like that.

Just did a complete scan of my system and nothing showed up on my end. Maybe I have an out of date flash player (OMG, I hate flash so much) and McAfee is tripping. I'll do some more investigation on my end.

"Force downloaded" the latest Flash Player after verifying McAfee was up to date and now no warnings.
