Fwippers are you talking about this website ?? I am not experiencing and problems. I use sophos home which I highly recommend. It is also free for home use.
What software is flagging up the risky message ?

Coming soon...BMW X2 sDrive 20i M Sport 5dr Step Auto In November 2025Have you tried reading (deciphering might be a better word) the info which comes up under “View Site Report” – a lot of these are over-conservative issues which would take several things in conjunction to actually be an issue – for what it’s worth, I’m a bit of a geek and semi-paranoid in nature and I’m not worried – the SSL certificate is in order and the couple of online scans I ran didn’t bring anything notable up.
Sometimes it can be as simple as an out-of-date version of some software being used when the latest version is fractionally more secure in as little as one specific way which can cause a “Possible” issue.
To put it into non-geeky terms, it could be something equivalent to something along the lines of a Tyre pressure sensor not working occasionally – it doesn’t mean you have a flat or shouldn’t drive.

Oh my lord! I am going to have to bit on my bit here fwippers.
Mmmm. Mmmm cf I can’t even bring myself to type that products name. Suffice to say that it is one of THE worst anti virus products you can have on your pc or any other device. I will leave it there.
What you are seeing is a false positive. If it was a genuine issue everyone would be posting in this thread saying the same as you. The fact there not, screams volumes that there is no such issue with this site.
If this site was indeed at risk I believe WMC would close access until he had fixed the issue.
There are seriously much better security products out there than what you are currently using.
I would strongly recommend uninstalling mmmm cough fee and rebooting your pc before installing something better. As I have mentioned before, Sophos home is very good.
There are of course other good programs available.
I use the paid for version by the way. But the home free one is fine

Coming soon...BMW X2 sDrive 20i M Sport 5dr Step Auto In November 2025I’ve uninstalled McAfee on more occasions than I can count for customers but didn’t want to outright call it out – but I will not argue with Joss – I personally wouldn’t choose to use it on anything.

Like wise colin. Hopefully fwippers will take our advice on board and dump that awful program.

Coming soon...BMW X2 sDrive 20i M Sport 5dr Step Auto In November 2025Thanks for flagging this, it’s worrying. The site is not https as the forum is so I will sort that out. Hopefully that’s causing the issue.
@fwippers
I have updated the site to secure status. https://www.whichmobilitycar.co.uk Hopefully this will solve the problem. Feedback appreciated.
I’ve also added extra spam filtering to the forum as the ‘naughty’ spam was having to be deleted manually. Now it’s an automatic process so that should help with security.
Many thanks WMC for your actions.

Coming soon...BMW X2 sDrive 20i M Sport 5dr Step Auto In November 2025I have taken this up with McAfee and asked to be re-classified and rescanned. This can take 3-5 days.
.Get rid of McAfee, it’s shoddy tat that has dealings with currys as a selling point and does more harm than good, every pc that I have worked on has had this crap slowing it down by huge amounts, it’s so intrusive it borders on a virus itself and you need a removal tool to fully get it off your system.
There are plenty of other free software protection programs on the market that do a far better job and are way less system hungry.
ATM I am using Avira Antivirus Pro(it’s 1 of 3 I usually choose) and this won this year as it had the best offer on(5 devices for £27 for the year) along with windows firewall and windows defender and I have no issues at all.
If you use Firefox you can negate this happening to some extent by adding the extension “HTTPS Everywhere” to the browser.
