McAfee Site Advisor

Why is McAfee Site Advisor saying that openlaszlo.org is not a safe site?

first I've heard of this, but I'll go see what I can find out.

I have not heard anything from you and McAfee Site Advisor is still saying that the openlaszlo site is not safe.

:(

Here's what we've found out about this. The warning is being triggered because the tool used to install on windows is considered adware by McAfee.

However -- the version we're using is not. It's safe. But it has the same name as an adware tool, but it is NOT adware. So it's a false positive.

What I'm researching is whether this is because it's two different tools with the same name (definitely McAfee's fault for a too-simple test), or whether it's different versions of the installer tool (perhaps a later one went adware? All I know right now is ours is not) -- that might be more ambigious. Once I figure this out, I'll go talk to McAfee and see what we can work out.

The error is a false positive; there's no problem. How to best resolve it isn't quite so easy to figure out, and I'm working on it. Along with 300 other things, of course... (grin)
