I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but thought it might be helpful to the less computer literate people like myself.
I've been trying to update awesomemod for a few days, but the page just freezes when clicking the link. It occured to me today, (i'm not that quick on the uptake) that my Mcafee site advisor had marked MATY as orange, and therefore, 'WARNING this site might be dodgy'. Obviously, it isnt! I then turned off site advisor and attempted to download again, and it worked first time.
So if anyone has Mcafee, and is having trouble downloading the latest version, turn off site advisor.
