WZ2100 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 shown as dangerous by McAfee Siteadvi

Post by autohost »

I don't know what's going on, but McAfee SiteAdviser plugin to Firefox reports Warzone2100 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 as dangerous downloads when I download them.

I've seen the same red "May be dangerous" SiteAdviser pop-up for a few other clean (afaik) downloads in the past few weeks and wonder if some people are posting fake reports to McAfee so that their database will be contaminated with false positives.

Thought I'd let you folks know about it.

Devurandom already told so: We should adjust the "If you downloaded Warzone from our website, it is impossible for it to have a virus."

It's not impossible but very very unlikely ;)

SiteAdvisor isn't an AV afaik, even the report doesn't show anything ( http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/wz2100.net )
I didn't even see warzone in the sourceforge download stats ( http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/source ... downloads/ ).
Maybe it is paranoid from the reg flags on this page? (http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/sourceforge.net ).
