Boards.ie McAfee warning

    On my computers I use McAfee Internet Protection Suite, which includes a web site vetting system to warn against potentially harmful sites. It places a yellow flag warning "use caution" against Boards.ie.

    This may be the wrong place to start this thread, but I didn't put it in computers because it isn't directly computer related. I just wonder why such a warning would exist. What can possibly be wrong with Boards? It doesn't seem to do that with other similar sites as far as I can see. I wonder if there is any way of getting Mr. McAfee to change his corporate mind, since seeing such a flag could put potential new users off?

    As far as I know, it's to warn people about boring threads that may appear in the wrong forum.

    I apologise for having bored you. Personally, if I find that a thread is of no interest to me I simply look for another one.
