Not a bug - Orange flagged by McAfee

[BaGamman]

Not a bug, but still a thing of concern, McAfee orange flagged Mangadex as a "suspicious" website for "Potentialy Distributing Illegal Softwares".

Well I know MacAfee is pretty much a malware by itself for forcefully re-installing itself every so and then, but maybe mangadex got a decrease of online reputation as of late ?
Just wanted to let you know.

Yeah, the staff knows. They made a post about it on twitter

They blacklisted most major anime/manga sites, nothing we can do about it.

Stop using McAfee.

imagine using mcafee in 2021...

 

[BaGamman]

@exeswiss yeah, I keep uninstalling it, but it's being re-installed every so and them by windows updates.
It's annoying.

 

[BraveDude8]

@BaGamman Windows absolutely should not be installing it automatically. Are you definitely completely uninstalling it, and are you using an ISP that runs all your traffic through them by default?

@BaGamman Maybe that 'uninstall' doesn't actually 'uninstall' and still leave unwanted file. I suggest you to run third party unistaller program such as Revo or IObit.

@BaGamman since windows defender got so much better windows update mcafee doesn't even show up in windows update. so i guess you didn't unistalled it completely.
