McAfee just preempts the page and issues a warning.

I can still click through and get the same web page everyone else does.

In the past, all the warnings came on websites I was not familiar with, usually sites I had clicked on because of interesting photos or headlines.

My guess - your site is fine, but some quirk in its code set off McAfee.

Just in the last few weeks McAfee has started blocking ads on a number of sites I use, like Daily Caller and even Drudge from time to time.

There is probably some new software protocol that “safe” sites are supposed to use, but the smaller sites with limited funds have not got around to installing the update yet.

That’s how mine works as well. If there’s some odd IP in the warning screen, one that isn’t what I was headed for, that could be a big red flag, but also sometimes (if it’s merely a graphic I want to load) the site may be notorious for lots of adware and annoyances. As long as it’s not the HTML code, probably okay.
