McAfee is Flagging Realcent

I have to "accept the risk" through a Mcafee red warning screen to jump to " new posts" page
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

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.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
