hi, here lately over the past few days,McAfee site adviser has blocked and said that downloads from download.com are dangerous. what the&*$#.
i think the CNET staff should have a chat with McAfee to find out whats going on. the way i see it, if i was new to this site and got that blocked download screen i would back out of here damn quick!! i have downloaded a lot of software from this site and NEVER an issue, so McAfee what the he%* is going on?
