>> Hi, Bob, List,
>>
>> I don't say this from any wish to be quarrelsome,
>> but if there is a site mentioned here that is a danger
>> to any user, it is McAfee itself, a struggling rolling
>> disaster attempting to cling to declining market share
>> with decrepid and faulty software whose marketing
>> tactic is and has been for years to intentionally terrify
>> their users with false reports of danger (particularly
>> in their web server software).
>>
>> Long term use of McAfee with constant so-called
>> upgrades and updates will bring any PC to a state of
>> total operational destruction. I've encountered "problem"
>> PC's that ran so slowly as to be unusable for which
>> McAfee software was responsible. Uninstalling and
>> burning all traces of McAfee from them restored them
>> to normal operation.
>>
>> Various alerts from McAfee have (falsely) identified
>> Abode Flash as a Trojan Horse, also several key components
>> of both Windows XP and Vista. They often target their
>> competitors' products for such false warnings (surprise).
>> All such software has some false alarms, but it appears to
>> be a pattern with this company. (Libel suits are welcome.)
>>
>> Longtime members of this List may recall being
>> victimized some years ago by a McAfee "warning storm"
>> of hundreds of "security warnings," one accompanying
>> each and every post from the List they received. I got
>> about 300 of them. There was, of course, no virus and
>> nothing wrong with any of the List postings... McAfee
>> is more than just worthless junk, though. It has a
>> history of eating its users' machines. That's far more
>> than an annoyance.
>>
>> As far as Sendspace is concerned, I have used the
>> site for years without any problem. (It's true that they
>> have increased ad content lately. Times are tough; you
>> may have heard.)
>>
>> You're in far more danger from McAfee than Sendspace.
>> (And no, I don't work for Symantec, or Sendspace either.)
