Just thought you'd like to know. It came up as possible ad ware, when i went into the report it was a poker download.

This is discussed on the Site Development forum, it appears to be a false postive caused by google ads or something.

That's actaully because of an older issue.

There used to be an ad that linked directly for an .exe file for green joker poker.

It's been gone for the best part of a year now, guess it takes mcafee a while to trust the site again.

No I've been experiencing problems more recenly than that. Things have definitely been trying to force their way onto my computer of late. Though truthfully I'd rather not let them run their course to see what they are. Bet you a tenner though that last one was one of those fake virus scamwares though.
