@scottiesmum - make that help rating = 3, as I also downloaded that WOT add-on, just in case.

They certainly seem to be on the ball in responding to comments from users.

Youre correct - I had actually submitted to MacAfee the day before you submitted to WOT - as you can see here.

The site is still green on McAfee.

And its still showing green.  :no:

I think I will just use WOT and disable site advisor,its just not up to date.

Edit,McAfee Site Advisor is even showing Innovagest2000 as green.(That is the company that is trying to trick you into thinking you have a virus)
