When I try to obtain the game Wonderquest from googa's download link http://wonderquest.co.nr/) my McAfee SiteAdvisor redirects me away with a warning that the site may try to steal my information. They say, "When we visited this site, we found it may be designed to trick you into submitting your financial or personal information to online scammers. Is this true? And if it is, why would CaravelNet host it? -_- :no

Don't worry. I downloaded Wonderquest from that link and was not asked for any financial or personal information.

EDIT: Just looked again. The site does have a bad cookie on it, that my Internet Explorer is blocking. Maybe that is what your Site Advisor is complaining about. As I said above, I was able to download Wonderquest without problems, with the cookie blocked.

Hmm... They might have said that because of the link pointing to an IP adress instead of a domain name. But don't worry, they can't do anything unless you let them, so even if the site was bad, all you would have to do is not give away information. ;)
And the bot could be faulty, most likely is.

I'm sorry phoenix_girl, I'm not good when it comes to web site building. I just created the page and uploaded. There's a lot of guys here who can explain this situation better than me.

PS: Try AVG. It's free, and works nice. ;)

Thank you for answering my question. I am going to bypass McAfee and download the game. :) But I really think you (googa?) should contact McAfee and ask them what's up.

Yes, I've taken that into consideration.
Have fun! :)
