McAffee, Symantec (Norton), etc. use these stupid 'suspicious site' things just to get web site owners to register with them. The only way to get your site to NOT show up this way is to register your site and all your own personal information with them. Then they run a "test" on your site and will eventually give you the nice green check mark (in theory).
I've submitted 2 of my sites (angelleye.com and usbswiper.com) and I've also been dealing with this for many of my clients. I've seen some sites get approved and get the green check mark within a few weeks. Others have been waiting months without any update. They won't give you any information on when it will update, either. They just keep saying it's in que.
It's a complete scam on their part, in my opinion, to get website owners to provide their information to these companies. I can't even imagine how many sales I've probably lost because people see it and don't even bother calling. Drives me nuts. Especially when I've followed all their stupid instructions and it just sits in the que for months.
As for everybody commenting on McAffee AV and Norton AV sucking...well, they do. They're resource hogs and they just spit BS stuff like this at you all the time.
If you're on Windows I'd recommend you just go with Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free and provided directly from the same company that created your OS. I've been using it for years and have never had a problem. It never gets in the way, either, unless there really is a problem.
