Website marked as dangerous

Jump to solution

Hi,

I've changed my website (https://www.teraplot.com) from http to https within the last couple of days. The site provides a downloadable executable (signed with a DigiCert extended validation code certificate), and has been running for years with no problems. When I tried to download the executable after changing to https, I got a McAfee message saying the website status is very risky and the download is dangerous, although a McAfee scan of the executable is successful.

I've also registered with trustedsource.org and the url status query returns that it's an unverified business site. The business part is correct but obviously I'd like to get past the uncertified status.

If anyone can advise on how to move forward with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Great that you raised a ticket with trustedsource. The requests should be addressed within an average of 3-5 bussiness days with some requests requring additional review and taking longer. Please post back if you need more help.

My website has has been listed as "minimal risk" on trustedsource.org for several days now but I'm still having problems with "dangerous download" messages. McAfee doesn't object when I visit my site (https://www.teraplot.com), but it does when I try to download a file. I've attached an image of the message I receive.

 

It can be reproduced by visiting the site, and choosing "Download/Order", followed by "Download" from the dropdown menu, and then clicking on the circled arrow in the "Download Trial" box.

I'm using Google Chrome version 67.0.3396.99 with Windows 10. The message may appear when the download starts or when "Show All" is clicked at the bottom right of the browser to show all downloads.
