We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

McAfee site advisor is giving me a warning about going to http://www.yosefscabin.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. It tells me there is a possible security risk. Anyone else getting this warning?

Initially I did when I first would frequent Yosef's Cabin. However, I no longer receive the warning.

I quit using McAfee, Norton et al. on my personal laptop. Windows Firewall seems to work just fine.

Yes. Mine is giving me a yellow "use caution on this site" warning.

I know I was having a similar problem on AppStateNation with people receiving certificate errors. I disabled all the Wordpress plugins and brought them back one by one until I figured out which one was causing it.

I have no idea if that's the problem here but it might be worth a shot.

Question: I have McAfee free with my e-mail account. Does it protect me on sites, etc., or only on my e-mail account. I'm pretty much computer illiterate, so I have no idea about these things except I had a tough time getting Norton off my computer so I could use a new virus protector. It was only with help from members of the MMB Delphi board that I was able to finally get Norton off of my computer.
