McAfee doesn't seem to like the search.php script, but that file has not been modified since the last phpBB update. The site report says the page is categorized as high risk for malicious downloads, but then shows no malicious downloads for the page :? I sent an email to McAfee/SiteAdvisor as per their instructions, hopefully they read it...

I also submitted cases to SiteAdvisor and TrustedSource. I got a bounce notice for the SiteAdvisor case...the email address their contact form goes to doesn't exist. I tried to register an account with SiteAdvisor but it won't send me the activation email. I had to resubmit the TrustedSource case because their form page timed out. What a joke :roll:

I ran several website scans that all came up empty. I am finding a LOT of complaints about false positives and negatives with this product. There's even a Wikipedia section:

I just got the McAfee warning tonight for the first time. I log in every day. I wonder why I didn't get it sooner.
