Why does McAfee SiteAdvisor say my website is dangerous?

[mo91204]

Hi,

When going to my site monkeyoutlet.com, SiteAdvisor says "Waring: Dangerous site, we tested the site and found it's risky to vist" 

How do I fix this?

I have my domain registed with godaddy, and A record points to BigCommerce server, MX record points to bluehost.  I dont know what other information i need to provide as i dont know why my site is marked as "dangerous"

Can anyone help me please?

Thank you.

Marc

Hi Tony,

Thank you for your quick reply.  I already submitted a feedback/question to SiteAdvisor.  Hopefully I will get a response soon.

For me says nothing now shows grey/untested site. Maybe they are updating it.

Hi,

I got an email from SiteAdvisor saying "I'm very pleased to inform you that your site(www.monkeyoutlet.com) has got the Green rating."  It seems that they scanned my site and gave me a green rating. They did not give me any reason why my site was marked as "dangerous" but now its has a green rating and thats good enough for me.

All I did is that i went to  http://www.siteadvisor.com/userfeedback.html and followed insructions.

Thanks Tony for pointing me to the right direction in soliving this.

I guess we can mark this as solved now

My site: https://weedpackagingandbeyond.com is also reporting as unsafe by McAfee SiteAdvisor. I tried clicking on the link (http://www.siteadvisor.com/userfeedback.html) provided but it's no longer working. Is there a new place we can submit to?
