- Dangerous Downloads: This refers to cases where a site provides downloads to users that may be carrying viruses, spyware, malware or adware.
- Unsolicited Email: A site is marked with this warning if it accepts email address and then generates spammy emails or causes spammy emails to be received by the user from other websites.
