A couple more:

Site: canadianrxdrugs.org

SiteAdvisor: http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/canadianrxdrugs.org/msgpage

WOT: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/canadianrxdrugs.org

Should be rated red because: "Canadian Pharmacy" is a well known illegal scam

Site: buysafedrugs.com

SiteAdvisor: http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/buysafedrugs.com/msgpage

WOT: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/buysafedrugs.com

Should be rated red because: "Pharmacy Express" is a well known illegal scam (probably the most prolific pharmacy scam ATM)

I'm not sure that I follow you there. You mean ip-adress.com should be rated red?

Hi Hayton, Here is a Site that is rated green.But when I went to enter I was greeted by a red Site advisor warning.Does this mean they are looking into this? Or would this be an example of what you were looking for?

boards.cexx.org/index.php?topic=948.msg5495     =   { NOT SURE IF THIS IS A SAFE SITE}

[Hayton]

When you see a site rated Green by SiteAdvisor but being blocked by SiteAdvisor (Red or Amber) it means the site passed its initial safety tests but TrustedSource has subsequently found a problem. Trustedsource ratings take priority.

Ok so this site is being checked again? Ok thanks

I have been a little worried about this recent trend, and it seems I have mentioned this before in this thread already.

The following sites are (or have been) Twitter typosquats, i.e. phishing sites imitating a Twitter login page. For the uninitiated: the base domain typically goes nowhere, but you can try to add e.g. /r2/ subdomain after the domain name and you can see what they are about.

These criminals typically register new ones every few days, and I have been trying to detect them as soon as possible, review them and report them to the registrar (who fortunately suspends them quite soon, that's why most of the examples below are already suspended). At the moment I review them, they are practically never rated yet by McAfee, i.e. they are "grey". But to my surprise they have in many occasions turned green only after I have reviewed them, and usually when they are still alive.

Site: iitvvitter.com

SiteAdvisor: http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/iitvvitter.com/msgpage

MyWOT: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/iitvvitter.com

Site: ivtwiter.com

Site: ltvvltter.com

Now I'm wondering what will happen to the latest one I just reviewed. It's still grey right now, but will it be green in the next couple of days like the others?

Site: utvvitter.com

SiteAdvisor: http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/utvvitter.com/msgpage

MyWOT: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/utvvitter.com

I'm only saying that this is just one more example of cases where McAfee would actually benefit if they paid even some attention to user ratings before stamping their own rating on sites.

I recommend myself to you.

I guess that these updates show who is reading this thread.

[Hayton]

Norton???!!!    Well, well.  We (or you) have a fan club. Perhaps we should design a special logo for them to put their webpage

Another update, perhaps the final one: 

utvvitter.com has been suspended, its domain registrar has set its status to clientHold.

SiteAdvisor has issued a (yellow) caution about utvvitter.com:

McAfee TrustedSource web reputation analysis found potential suspicious behavior on this site which may pose a security risk. Use with caution.
