McAfee Secure is a nightmare for site owners and doesn't provide surfers with any kind of guarantee that they are visiting a 'safe site'.
McAfee is notorious for its false positives. Legit sites get listed as being insecure and it's always a lot of trouble to get this rectified.
For surfers, there is no reason to assume that a site that is reported to be safe by McAfee is in fact really safe for surfers. Site owners or criminals who hack the server on which a site's content resides can easily detect McAfee's bots and configure the server to return a "clean website" to McAfee's bots and infected content to normal surfers.
This whole thing is actually a good example of why people shouldn't buy .xxx domains. The .xxx stld is being run by a company that obviously has little to no understanding of how things work and just made a deal with an antivirus company in an attempt to add (the illusion of) value to their product, but ended up creating potential problems for its customers.
