So why are Mcaf.ee short urls secure? McAf.ee is powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, so it lets you create short url’s which are checked against McAfee databases of known spam, dangerous, malware hosting, bot control sites prior to being shown.

If the site is flagged  dangerous, McAfee will show a  warning page  giving users an option to go back  before visiting the site. There are various levels of danger – like most dangerous (Red sites) which they block from visiting without typing the “long” url, the suspicious (Yellow) will warn the user, but allow a click through, and the safe sites (Green) are displayed instantly. So head over to Mcaf.ee now and secure your urls.
