Hi there! That definitely means your computer is infected. Adware and malware insert themselves into the ad spaces on sites like ours. You need to be sure and run a good cleaning program like AVG, AdAware, Spybot Search & Destroy, etc.

The threat isn't originating on our site.

I, too, have received the warning. My virus protection says that my machine is clean. I think perhaps the problem lies with whomever sent the messages.

I sent this to our team to investigate just in case - if you have the specific warnings I can share that would be great.

My computer has been picking up a few viruses lately and I don't know where they are coming from.

Okay - we had a plugin that was causing that error. Can you guys visit the gallery again and see if you get that message?

They have disabled the plugin for now so you should be able to proceed normally.

McAfee is still blocking my access to the gallery. I can get to the gallery home page fine, but if I try to look at today's uploads, I am blocked.

Can you log out, clear your cache (instructions at the top of this forum) - log back in and try again? Your browser might still think that plugin is active.

I went ahead and did all the busy work, closed my browser (which is the latest version of Mozilla Firefox) and then rebooted my computer. Logged back in to SCS and McAfee still gives me a red warning page telling me the site exhibits "risky behaviors" when I try to go any further than the home page of the gallery. McAfee doesn't seem to have any problems with the forums, so I'll just hang out there today. Thanks.

If I click on one of the cards on the Gallery Home Page, I can bring it up fine, however if I click on one of the categories or uploads for the last day or week, McAfee still blocks me. I didn't go through the clearing cache etc today though. Did you want me to try that again?

Also, if I click on a card link from a forum post, it lets me load it fine. The problem just seems to be if I want to bring up a category, grouping or index of cards .

If it helps, I use Mozilla Firefox and run Windows 7.

I was finally able to go in but only after my computer guy removed something through Mozilla Firefox. Now McAfee does not give me the alert. He says I am still safe.

Hi Donna - Can you please
  • Tell me the version # of McAfee you're currently in and
  • Update to the most current version and try again?
