Customize.org & McAfee SiteAdvisor

Post by icepurity8 »

Is customize.org really safe to visit? McAfee states otherwise.
http://customize.org/rainmeter
This link might be dangerous. We tested it and found security risks. Beware.
Website Category:
Media Downloads, Malicious Sites

I thought about it being false positives, but....the whole site? :S

Personally, and just my opinion, but I would never trust or use anything from McAfee. Having said that, as long as you use the normal amount of caution you should anytime you are downloading stuff from the interwebs, customize.org is reasonably safe. I don't doubt that there could be some sketchy stuff on there in some categories, but as long as you stick to Rainmeter skins, ones that are in the .rmskin format, it should be fine.

my Yandex browser doesn't like Custo either (they work with Sophos and Kaspersky).

the site probably still has a bad reputation from back then when the Rainmeter sections were flooded with malware (although it was probably not that bad as on deviantArt).

I don't doubt it. I'm afraid that Custo has been kinda neglected for some time. It is better now since a couple of us on the Rainmeter Team were given admin over there, so we can check things out as they are submitted and make sure they are .rmskin files.

That's good news for sure.
Is it possible to find what's causing it & request for review?

It doesn't seem all that bad...

edit : Nevermind, I just clicked on View Details lol

Downloads are all clean from pgs 11 - 193

As long as those warnings are gone, the rest of the pages will be good.
