Kirislin Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I've had a pro flickr account for years now and I just went to upload a pic and got a great big red warning sign from Mcafee saying it's a dangerous site! I would've thought it was safe, I'm a bit confused now. Has anyone else had the warning when they go to upload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gapvic Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I got the same message yesterday but went ahead and uploaded anyway with no problems :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I've sent flickr a message asking if they know about it. I might have to go back to photobucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It's probably a software glitch rather than Flickr being suddenly unsafe. *nods* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I hope that's all it is. It would be pretty annoying if we pay for it, believing it to be a legitimate safe site and it turns out it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 what exact message did your AV give you, Kirislin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 this is what it said McAfee®, Inc. Contact us Warning: Dangerous Site Whoa! Are you sure you want to go there? http://www.flickr.com/photos/upload/ may be risky to visit. Why were you redirected to this page?

CrazyCresties Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Probably a false-positive, try updating Mcafee or making Flickr a trusted site :) Others having the same issue below. http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157631450151228/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregW Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) I had lots of probs a week ago with McAfee with all sorts of messgages and sometimes not letting me on internet at all ( was a known prob with McAfee site adviser)so uninstalled and reinstalled, now all good.
