At last! We're in the clear again

It seems that persistence pays off in the end. McAfee has finally restored our green rating. Yahoo!

In my inbox just an hour ago was the following message:

"Hello,

This site has been moved to a 'green' rating:
    http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/tech-pro.net

Sincerely,

Jim
Avert Services
McAfee SiteAdvisor"

Yahoo! is still publishing the red warning, but I guess we'll just have to wait for them to update their system from McAfee. And other sites like xaddr.com and The PC Guru still have the red rating they got from having links to tech-pro.net. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for their ratings to change.

I'm pleased Tech-Pro.net has finally been cleared of course. I'd be happier if I thought that lessons were being learned that might prevent this from happening again in the future. Suggestions I've made in previous blog postings, like checking suspicious downloads with other scanners for a second opinion, or giving webmasters a chance to respond to ratings, would certainly avoid others from suffering this horrible experience. But it has happened to other sites before mine, and nothing was done about it then, so I guess it will happen again to others in the future.
