Facebook Share: Security Alert: This Link May Not Be Safe

I am using a tumblr blog to promote a nonprofit. When I share the site link on Facebook, those who click on it receive the following alert. Can you please tell me what steps I might take to get this corrected, or can I send you the site link offline for your review/suggestions? Users are understandably hesitant to continue to the site once they encounter this warning. I have contacted Facebook and Tumblr, but would also appreciate your recommendations in an effort to speed a resolution. Thank you!

Hello,

I would need the exact URL from your blog to reproduce this issue.

If you don't want to share it on this forum, please send me a private message.

Best regards,

Peter

It seems that on many Facebook pages some links leading to Tumblr are blocked by McAfee SiteAdvisor randomly and for no apparent reason and despite the fact that all these links areconsidered healthy by the service itself.

The question is therefore whether it is service from McAfee that is defective (remember that the false positives is a specialty at McAfee) or if it is an antitrust maneuver on the part of Facebook.

Having the same problem. I set up a tumblr blog today which sends new posts to twitter. Twitter then sends the post to Facebook and when you click on the link (http://t.co/ymv42jEG) McAfee sends a "This Link May Not Be Safe message".
