McAfee possibly bribed by Ascentive?

Posted by admin on August 5th, 2009 and filed under maafee site advisor |

The user d9y8l7a6n5 here on youtube contacted me by private message and told me that McAfee changed their rating on Ascentive as well as their product site, FinallyFast.

This is one of many of the biggest wtfs I have ever seen.

    I know for a fact Money can easily bribe some people. I even think they bribed the TV networks.

    Here a tip for looking at user reviews. If they are 20 negative reviews and 2 positive reviews then it is a no brainer, The prosuct being reviewed sucks

    I cannot believe that McAfee would be greedy enough to sell their customers’ trust. Whatever McAfee was paid will only compensate for the customers they will lose.

    I’ve actually written to McAfee about this, still waiting for a reply. Hey, how ’bout you record a phone call to McAfee about this and post it on here?

    It seems a lot of websites that were once rated red… are now green. Some even say Virustotal now says FinallyFast is clean… even when it truly isn’t.

    How could Ascentive get away with this? McAfee has to be blind to not notice the 60 unfavorable comments on FinallyFast.

    This is one of the reasons I now use WOT (Web Of Trust). And yes, I do think they were paid by Ascentive to give a false rating.

    Wow. Avast! popped up as soon as I downloaded their product. As I quoted on SiteAdvisor:
    “I’ve now lost trust in McAfee. I [now] know that they can be bought.”

    Go Web of Trust!

    Even an old hazardous site called goggle (do not visit it) is even being labelled as green.

    Is all bad sites being labelled green now?

    I’ve never trusted McAfee to begin with. I use other programs that actually tell the truth.
