This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job.

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done

it’s a miracle. it toke half a year to McAfee finally realize that we don’t host any virus in our website, at least with site advisor 2.9 build 2.9.258 updated at 22/03/2009 (ddmmyyyy)

thank you, McAfee. you are just half a year late, but at least yours have finally fix the issue. we just hope that yours never more
do that again without any reason like your just did with us. and please, make an favor to yourselves an update your tests more often

for details, please take a look in here

According to the latest version of McAfee SiteAdvisor, we are hosting viruses in our site, specifically, at apup.zip file. The issue is related to a false positive presented by McAfee and several other antivirus vendors for uz.exe. Uz.exe never was a virus, or a trojan, or a worm. That file was just a tool designed to extract zip files, nothing else. We managed to gain confirmation from F-Secure and from Kaspersky that our files was virus-free. But McAfee don’t think that and 2 months AFTER we removed the file pointed by them they put us in the exact same level as a malicious site.

It seems there are good web sites, there are bad web sites and there are those that are just plain incompetent. In the incompetent category comes McAfee SiteAdvisor. Even McAfee’s process for verifying a web site owner is broken.

Blaming others for false positives is easy, McAfee. We hope that you update your own software some day (like we did 2 months ago, to remove the file that you “think” was a virus) and remove that false positive that you set for us. It’s very easy to test: just try checking our entire site again, just to be sure that your false positive isn’t here anymore.

To anyone that wishes see McAfee false positive, it’s in here.

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you, McAfee
