McAfee has flagged by website as malicious. Yikes! How can I correct that?

Got it. Site looks good from my end, but I don’t use McAfee. Also, see the area I circled from your screen shot. This address is definitely NOT a McAfee address. This means that, most likely, your customer has malware on their device. Clicking Continue to Site probably will be something they regret. Here’s a link to McAfee’s page on detecting fake messages. It has samples of what to look for. McAfee will only advise users to turn on some settings for better protection. Your customer has been hacked or phished. They should know.

Sorry to hear that, @honeypiesbakery. First, what’s your URL? I’d like to go to it and see what’s happening. Second, how do you know it flagged your website as malicious?

When I went to the site on my Chromebook no issue.

Then I tried my Cell using Chrome Browser.... Unreachable. site cannot be reached error

I then Cleared my Browser Cache and it went right to your site.

The tried DuckDuckGo web browser and no problems.

Try clearing your cookies on your web browser.

The other thing is since you are using McAfee, you can contact them and see why they are flagging your site as malicious.
