Site Advisor unfairly marking my site:
I intended this feature to be a simple way to add my site to their favorites, leaving the user ultimately with the decision to accept or deny it. so in light of this I feel it's somewhat unfair that Mcafee Site Advisor have marked my site with a yellow warning mark claiming my site feature to be an annoyance, when it's obvious that McAfee haven't actually tested what site is being added or the frequency of the request, only suggesting "a website" is attempting to add to favorites.
Not only does a Site Advisor user see a yellow flag when visiting my site, but if searched through a search engine like Google, they also see a clear 'CAUTION' message too.
Because of this simple feature, (which might I add, my visitors have liked), my site is being branded as a 'Phishing' website because of it, only due to recent marking policy changes by Mcafee Site advisor team.
This blantent branding by Mcafee has the potential to seriously damage my websites otherwise impeccable reputation. This decision is even more unfair seeing no user to-date has left any comments or complaints about my site or it's features.
I will go further to say that over 3000 visitors have not made any negative comments about the site, in fact totally the opposite.
Also to rub salt into the wounds, I've been activately promoting Site Advisor as a reliable source of safety information when surfing, now I'm having my doubts as to it's credibility.
