    I have McAfee as my Antivirus software and I also use McAfee site-advisor which lets me know if a website has viruses and such on it before I enter. Well McAfee just decided to say Romu is not a safe site. I know the site is fine but I wonder what happened that they marked it as unsafe. And it always gives me this annoying red box warning whenever I go on romu :-\ Anyone else notice this?

    based on that, romU links to another ROM site, which links to another site which has issues -.-"

    Apparently a site called bullet chat. Must be one of those chat roulette places.

    I would suggest picking up a new anti-virus. Just a personal suggestion due to McAfee being one of the worst anti virus softwares available.

    Also, yes, just remove the affiliate. Obviously their site is no good to potential visitors to this site.

    Norton is way worse, just ask loony & he'll tell you that....

    Best AV at the moment are AVG, Avira & NOD32.
