In view of Doug's experience, we contacted Godaddy. They advised us that we need SSL certification for our site. I'm a complete novice when it comes to website design and security but I learnt two things. One is that SSL is indicated by the green padlock and the 's' in https in the address bar. The second is that it's considered vital if sensitive information is being transmitted, such as credit card data, usernames and passwords, etc. And of course, SSL costs money. A scan of the list of clubs on this website showed that only one has SSL and they are using Google Sites, Google being actively pushing for SSL on everything. We are a group of model boaters whose website is simply making available for viewing some of our activities, we are not collecting anything from visitors. in conclusion, we will not be making any changes, and so McAfee users will continue to receive the message Doug reported.

Hi Roy, kinda looks that way🤔
I suspect that all those who have no bother don't have any kind of Site Checker installed. They're not infallible but then who or what is? Better safe than sorry! Cheers Doug 😎

Hi Dave, Thanks for the advice (aimed more at the non-computer guys here I guess 😉), but I was programming computers back in the 8 bit paper tape days!
Due to limited storage space (kbytes not Giga or Terrabytes!🤔) I quickly learned to use it sparingly and clear the junk out after every session!
Nowadays it's sadly more of a security question. ALL my possible browsers are set to clear cache, cookies, searches, sites visited etc etc on closure. At the end of each session I also use CCleanerPro (formerly CrapCleaner!) to clear out all caches, MS usage logs, temporary thumbnails Temp files, and deleted files - Waste Basket and Uncle Tom Cobbley and all!. So there can not have been anything in the browser cache - especially on the very first attempt.
I agree with your last comment - my interpretation is that when McAfee looked at the site it exhibited behaviour which is classed as Suspicious!
I won't be trying it again. Cheers Doug 😎
PS: i suppose I could dig out the site report, but frankly it's not worth the bother, more interesting things to do! ColourCoats paints for the PT boat and T45 as well as LifeColor cammo colours for KM and RN WW2 arrived today. Only ordered 'em yesterday 😊😊

Dave,
I edit this site and have done since we set it up in February so I can hardly refrain from visiting it. it was set up using the Godaddy facility and, as such, is their responsibility to ensure security. Sounds like we might have made the wrong choice regarding host.
Roy

Hi Doug
The warning concerns the lack of security on this site. More than likely the certificate is out of date. I also use McAfee and did not get the warning.
Perhaps the certificates are different from country to country and have different expiry dates.
I suggest you clear your Cache as it could be the old site has placed this marker and McAfee is not checking the URL but you cache
Roy
The warning is to protect you from viruses/trojans etc. Personally I would NOT accept the risk as visiting such sites opens your computer/files and finances to anyone who has placed malicious files.
Dave

Can't help you there. I, and others, can access it without a problem. Suggest you "accept the risk".
Roy
