You have no need to be concerned, there isn't either on this site, they are way out of date with their information.

_http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/satellites.co.uk

The Toolbar which has long since been removed as an optional download (and I stress optional) was not dangerous anyway, but we decided to remove it to prevent such listings, the only questionable activity of the toolbar if installed, was that it contacted Feedburner, to pull up the latest forum posts so that they could be displayed on the toolbar.

Chris actually posted on their page to say that there was no Spyware or Adware on the forum, but they have not reassessed the page.


PS. you need to turn off your Caps lock

Hi,Thank You for reply&I do apologise for Caps.I am still getting a yellow warning from McAfee site Advisor foe this site ? Last night I got a green thumbs-up from the same source&a green light from xpl(formerly a standalone but now under control of A V G I think)for a site unrelated to here.As it turned out both windows defender&McAfee anti Malware caught & blocked a Trojan from that site.I do agree both Siteadvisor and xpl need to get there act together.To anybody not farmiliar with McAfee site advisor,It is a free download Seperate to McAfee Sequerity suite.It indicates Their tests on any site by color coding as does xpl.I am getting serious doubts about the accuracy of these programmes though ;- (

Well I think they can only be as accurate as their incoming information and they rely on reports from users, so if they haven't received a report about a site, it will not be blacklisted, equally, if they don't act on updated information, then clean sites will show a warning when they are safe.

Hi.I have downloaded latest version of McAfee siteadisor and am still getting a yellow rating even here with only the forum tab open.The whole point of siteadvisor is to not to click on a red or yellow marked site found in search engine results!I have full subscription to McAfee security suite which entitles Me to support so Intend to ask them why they have ignored Chris,s objection to the rating&why some are getting Yellow rating&others not.I will also ask them for a retest of the site.I will post the results of their reply to me here.
Regards

Dear valued user,

Thank you for your submission. Your involvement in our product is highly valued and helps us to better serve you.

Hi Chris,
I have been accessing this site via the links in email alerts from new posts to this thread.I tried googling satellites.co.uk and XPL is giving a green while while siteadvisor a Yellow

As promised I contacted s/a pointing this out&the fact that You and others have left comments,above Hi Chris is their initial email reply.I requested a retest.Under view site details I find contact us to be more effective as people are allowed to ask for a retest.Actually turns out full McAfee security suite subscription Not needed since s/a is standalone&free.
I humbly suggest that others do this as It badly impunes the integrity of a site full of excrllant useful information
Regards

Still getting Yellow/amber warning a week later,Perhaps I should have added that to ask for a site review on SiteAdvisor the I.D field can be left blank.I do not join any tracking of the so called anonymous automatic feedback sites.Big Brother !...........

Yayyyyyyy Siteadvisor has finally got around to giving the correct green safety rating to this site via all links to it from search engine&emails!
