    Someone on Virustotal has gone in with a few people and flagged us making us look bad based on some antivirus app no one uses. Please go to Virustotal and upvote us to reverse this. Type in majorgeeks.com under url and click the green icon.

    THANKS, I know we can count on you. Also any friends you can get to do so would help get it over the top!

    Well maybe done. I am not sure because when I click on the green icon it just flashes and when I check the votes the last vote it shows is nullptr.

    I've emailed Pareto Logic to ask them to explain why their site alone suggests MG is malware on Virus Total, and to correct it if, as we know, the site is safe. Maybe they will answer, maybe not.

    What is going on? Last time I checked there were 4 Red Devils and 22 Green Angels now it is showing 8 Red Devils and 17 green Angels. Something is not right!

    Clear your cache, go into VirusTotal and enter http://www.majorgeeks.com/ into the search > Scan > Reanalyze. That should work for you.

    Mine is 4 Red, 25 Green

    If I click on any of the links in here, it goes to that analysis. Refreshing doesn't help.

    Hi Laura. I had cleared cache earlier and it did show 4 red 22 green but then the next time I checked it was 8 red 17 green. After clearing cache I get same result as you now. Wondering why you have to go through all that for a updated count. Seems to me you should not have to do that.;) Out of curiosity I checked again and get 8 red and 18 green.:(

    I clicked the red icon to read the the negative reviews and I downvoted us.

    Sorry I screwed up lawls. :)

    I bet a lot of people have done that, or I'm an idiot, both workable theories.

    Ricky if you click on yourself under Votes it gives you a chance to change your vote. At least it did when I checked that. But then again I did not want to change my YES vote.;) Worth a try anyway!

    Done and wow some folk will try anything to discredit a great site. I would not be here if we had dodgy downloads, as I know we test all and do not list all apps like some.
