    I just downloaded McAfee SiteAdvisor.  According to McAfee SiteAdivsor the website www.Kbdedit.com is not safe to use and it displays a red cross with a cross in it.

    As far as I know, there isn't any danger in using it.

    It got flagged because of the outgoing links to some shoddy shareware sites.
    See https://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/kbdedit.com

    However,  if you click on Purchase on top of the page and then click buy, the icon turns yellow.

    Now shareit.com has many red downloads which includes trojans.  Shareit.com is the company that people are going to have buy this software from!

    How do know whether they contain trojans or your overzealous mcafee merely assumes they do because they contain VBSCRIPT code (a ridiculous assumption)? This is a rampant problem these days.

    So, maybe if enough of us write to McAfee SiteAdvisor, they will change their minds and give the sites the green light.

    If anybody gets a reply, please could you post it here.
