Apologies - I am completely lost! I want to report a website as possibly unsafe to McAfee Site Advisor, but cannot see how I can do this. Would much appreciate some help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You might as well post it here. No one will ever see it if you post it in the SiteAdvisor comments (unless you goof up).

thank you AlphaCentauri!
Basically when I googled something (I forget what), one of the websites that came up was called chirdeo.com. It had the big green tick of McAfee SiteAdvisor beside it - suggesting it was okay - but some of the material under the main heading looked pretty unsavoury. Like the site had been hacked or something, and I just wanted to report it.
I can't load it, but I can see what you mean from the Google entries. The site seems to be about childbirth and raising children, but those keywords they're listing aren't referring to kittens.
The domain is a couple years old, but the registration is privacy protected. The host is OVH, which from my experience is pretty useless about relaying information to their customers about their sites getting hacked. It looks like the website is mainly in Polish.
You can try going to PrivacyProtect.org, entering information in their webform and asking them to forward the information to the domain owner. If the domain isn't abandoned, it would be a shame for them to get a red rating from McAfee that will take months to resolve, especially if they are already in the process of fixing it (explaining why the site is not responding when I try to load a page). Rating it at mywot.com would be appropriate; then you can return later and update it when it's fixed.
There are a ton of legit sites getting hacked right now as part of this Lizamoon attack. If you're using Internet Explorer, change to something else like Firefox, and use the Noscript add on with that.
Loads of helpful ideas there - will get onto it. Thank you very much for that!
