I've not visited here for a few days, but immediately I see that MacAfee Site Advisor is giving this website a Yellow Flag. There are some comments on the MacAfee website here, suggesting, as explanation, that some of the downloads available are classified as riskware.
This sort of thing could actually prevent people from coming here when they're Googling their way to help. Counterproductive, surely!
