Siteadivisor is pretty dumb to rate site generating spam. All my mailing lists sites are rated as Spam... I wonder why Yahoo has choosen McAfee Siteadvisors when in most reviews they are poorly rated compared to some other companies. @Ronak: Yeah they fixed it the next morning. @david: I read your post and totally agree with you.

It’s clearly a bug from Yahoo / McAfee integration. 1- Yahoo shoudn’t return http://www.google.com as a result of searching astalavista 2- The ranking insertion is wrong too 3- The result is really funny Your post seems to say that everything is normal.... Of course it's not a bug but a feature ! ;-) Kudos to Techcrunch for posting that, so funny ! Obviously you don’t get it.
