how to avoid McAfee warnings and others

Hello

I am using Voluum already 2 weeks and I saw a drop in my ROI last 2 days,
I see that my click URL is flagged by McAfee and maybe others companies so users are closing the window I think

What can I do to avoid this problem ? how to not be flagged as risked or malicious pages ?

I precise that I use clean and regular advertising method like Outbrain or Taboola

Thanks

I have since forwarded a request for all the domains to be reviewed by McAfee again for recategorization.

On that, can you PM me the click URL that is getting flagged by McAfee?
It might be a case that a different URL within your campaign funnel is raising a red flag, so it's worth to double-check

If you have a website and mcafee flags you, just pay them 19$ a month and all the hassle will be over. https://www.mcafeesecure.com/start

Ive had this problem. Heres what i did:
- buy an ssl cert from mcafee
- registered my site with mcafee, trustedsite, mywot, norton, etc
- requested positive reviews of my site from employees/friends/happy customers
- make sure you are NOT using shared hosting
- regular (weekly) checks of my site in all major security/trust/review sites to identify problems faster
