Finjan SecureBrowsing - two conflicting icons
I'm using a bunch of different "safe browsing" tools, including Finjan, WOT, and McAfee SiteAdvisor. I keep McAfee off most of the time, because it's too much of a hog and my understanding is it's not very up to date, and WOT seems to be giving a lot of politically motivated results so I don't like to rely on it.

Today a site that belongs to friends of mine came up with a big red mark from Finjan when I googled something on it, warning me of "potentially malicious behavior detected". The warning came up on only a few pages, but not others on the site.

I decided to see what McAfee would come up with and enabled it. When I refreshed the Google results, suddenly next to the McAfee icon a second Finjan icon appeared. So now there are 4 icons:

Grey unknown from WOT, a green all-clear from McAfee, and a red AND a green icon from Finjan contradicting each other...

Finjan doesn't appear to have any tech support whatsoever, and I don't even see a forum for users. I'd like to be able to visit my friend's site, and also let them know if there's a serious problem with it (could it be that they've been hacked?!), but I'm really at a loss as to what to do now.

Anyone got any clue what's going on here? Thanx for any insight anyone might have into this.
