I recently tried to go to the Ashampoo site but McAfee's Site Advisor would not allow access. There was a warning that said-
"Browser exploit: Breached browser security When we browsed this site, it made unauthorized changes to our test PC." Is this a false positive with SA? Have there been other security programs with similar warnings? McAfee defines an exploit as follows- "Exploits are rare but extremely dangerous security threats caused by a Web site "exploiting" a browser's security vulnerability. The exploit can cause the user's computer to receive programming code which can cause adware infections, keystroke spying, and other malicious actions which can leave a computer essentially unusable."

I would be giving it a wide berth because SA is definite re. it's RED warning signal - many sites covered by SA get the RED warning, but I didn't see that, " Breached Browser Security " flag before. |
