    I am sure its just a "mistake" but McAfee Site Advisor marked eset.com as a Red site.

    That means they are afraid of your product (and they be should) which means I made the right choice in using it.

    You can choose to send it to McAfee so they can change

    The issue was caused by a false positive caused by the McAfee AV engine . It is more technical than legal , I think .

    The FP was caused because while the Site Advisor team tests sites , they use McAfee engine to scan files there . McAfee detected something like a generic threat in a Brontok fix utility , which detection should be a FP . It seems they have now fixed the detection issue in their bases/engine/generic sigs and no more red alarms by Site Advisor

    my comment about legal being involved has more to do with who within Eset responded - technical issues are normally addressed by Marcos or someone else in technical. Legal issues are generally responded by mrtwolman.
