I have Mcaffee installed and it has a thing on it called site advisor. (I have no idea how to turn it off for this part since it is my virus program). Anyhow when I come to SSD it has a yellow alert and asks me if I am sure I want to come here. Anybody else get this? Have a wy around it or know how to turn it off? It is annoying as heck and I dont know what they are seeing here which is questionable (it looks for risk of virus, spam etc).

Mine has showed SSD at yellow for years. I don't want to turn it off because it will alert red to a site that has proven to host malware.
As far as SSD's yellow alert, if you click the yellow MacAfee icon in your address bar, you can view the site report and leave a good review for SSD. I did awhile back. I have to shake my head at the negative review on there...I have NEVER had a problem with this site.

I know Stacy same for me. SSD has never given me any issues (well you know except make me spend far to much money here LOLOL). Of course that is my lack of willpower and their amazing designers :)

I've been getting the yellow alert for awhile now too.

The goofy thing is that if you do a google search, the home page of SSD gets the green checkmark (everything is A-OK). But the gallery and the forum are yellow.

This is the only negative message I see when I click the Advisor Box

"Rating: Adware, spyware, or viruses

My computer needs to be purged after every visit to this site. There are so many people on here uploading their own scrapbooking layouts that I think they also upload viruses, spyware etc. too.

lol that is ridiculous. You can't upload anything to the gallery except image files anyway! Maybe if there's enough positive reviews, it'll stop doing that?

I tried to add a positive but could not figure out why but there is a place to email them Traci and tell them youd like i t removed...

well for the site owner anyhow. So maybe you could let Robin know? I just added the gallery and forum to my safe list and it is fine now. It was just annoying cause I trust SSD and couldnt figure out why anyone else wouldnt as well.
