If any of the SiteAdvisor Gurus are watching this space could you take a look at http://pcflank.com/and tell us why SA finds it objectionable whilst WOT does not? It is supposed to be simply a firewall testing site.
I'd also be interested in knowing why I still get the SiteAdvisor warning in Firefox 5 despite SA having been disabled temporarily due to compatability issues with that version of the browser. Or is it simply because of this board's security with links?

I think the site may need to be retested - a lot of the results are from the back end of 2010. Having said that, I see that the site is/was hosted on a server in Russia, and that many of its downloads are/were flagged as moderately suspect or dangerous. Namely -
- breakout-wp.exe : Generic Trojan
- copycat.exe : Artemis, Generic Trojan
- breakout-en.exe : Artemis, AdClicker-EM trojan
- PCFlankLeakTest.exe : Artemis
- Ghost.exe - Exploit-Ghost trojan, Artemis
- awft32.zip : Demo-LeakTest
- tooleaky.exe : Demo-LeakTest
- LeakTest.exe : Demo-LeakTest
- Yalta.zip : Yalta
- pcaudit.exe : Spyware-PCinetpatrol
- firehole.exe : Firehole, Demo-LeakTest
Only 8 out of 25 downloads passed as safe. The rest clocked scores on the nuisance meter ranging from 3 (annoying) to 9 (dangerous).
The downloads may be perfectly legit but McAfee's testing process clearly doesn't like them.

Norton SafeWeb reports one bad download and gives the site an amber rating.
Google SafeBrowsing is a bit confused about the site. Says it is, and it sn't, hosting malware.
Well then perhaps it is just as well I use Firefox 5 and Google toolbar is another extension that is disabled as obviously their findings are suspect...LOL
I know the two are separate.
