Hey, I have been using Rollitup for a while now and recently got Mcafee anti virus. The site advisor on Mcafee says that RIU is unsafe, which confuses me because I've never had a problem with spyware or anything on RIU.
Could anyone shed any light on this?

Mcafee says alot is unsafe. Reason I got ride of it. Wanted me to block most of my forums. Also wouldn't open some work docs that I use daily.

now thats not very nice, there is no need for it really..imo it doesnt matter where he posted it he just is looking for a little help and i dont think that what you said is very helpful at all.


as for the answer to your question, im not entirley sure, but i beleive it could have something to do with a couple things, one i beleive this site is hosted in a non usa place which probably triggers it as a red flag for your anti virus, it also has something to do with illegal things which i beleive may be another reason why it is flagged by your AV, i really wouldnt worry about it, ive been on this site with multiple computers for 5 or 6years now and have never had any problems especially with a virus or spyware of the sort, hope this helps, later friend

listen to vonk, i beleive hes right , your on the fast track of everyone thinking your an asshole real quick, and with what, 80 posts? times your posts by ten, then we can chat :P


and one more thing, u dont need to ask for rep in your sig, if someone feels you did smoething worthy of reputation you will get it, it just kind of makes you look desperate and honestly borderline sociopathic. have a good day though.


pps. and warlock i really like your avatar, shed some light on it pls?

I don't think there is anything to worry about, I use 2 other programs, and none of their alarms have gone off.
That's one of the things I first noticed and don't like about that, is too many false alarms.

I'm fairly certain it was your actual browser telling you this as I have gotten warnings from firefox, and maybe my anti-virus protection, that RIU does not have a valid ssl or something certificate. I got these warnings all the time before I was a member when I just browsed here, but when I first browsed here I never saw it. So it's probably something related to an expired something or another. That's tech talk for I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

Thanks people, I figured its just a program, computers get things wrong from time to time. Thanks for the input anyway. :)
