Why does my virus checker tell me that this site has a bad reputation and can it
Why does my virus checker tell me that this site has a bad reputation and can it be fixed?
My virus checker Avast! has warned me about using this site, indicating that it has a bad reputation. It indicates that 5 companies at least are tracking everything I do on hubpages which concerns me somewhat. I have recently been enjoying re-gigging my hubs and receiving feedback again after a period of time off so this has been a bit of a wake up call. I will endeavour to keep rating the site upwards but wondered if there was anything Hubpages could do to improve its reputation?

Avast is showing hubpages as having a Bad Reputation. Can we Help?
I went, today, to check and see if any of my articles had been plagiarized. What I found was even worse. Avast, my virus protection provider, and one of the largest in the world, leaves a little mark beside each site on google to tell you if it is safe. They indicate that all Hubpages are unsafe...
