It's solicited. By McAfee customers. They're paying for various AV services and this is one of them. The site will only be blocked for McAfee customers that (I'm assuming) have this feature turned on. Clearly they couldn't run a site operator opt-in only list of malware hosting sites... right?

Yes. :(

I'm just having a hard time coming to terms with the possibility that your site can be improperly flagged for all McAfee users and you have virtually no recourse because they happen to be understaffed.
