Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREEPublisher's Description
From McAfee:
McAfee SiteAdvisor software is a free Web security plug-in that provides you with simple red, yellow and green Website safety ratings, McAfee SECURE trustmarks for sites passing more rigorous daily tests, and a Secure Search Box so you can click with confidence and safely surf, search and shop online. This award-winning program tests websites for spyware, spam, phishing, and browser exploits, and its automatic updates help protect you from the latest threats. SiteAdvisor technology works with 20 search engines, including Google, Yahoo!, Bing, AOL, and Ask. It has been downloaded more than 200 million times and does not require any other security software to work. With SiteAdvisor software installed, your browser will look a little different than before. We add small site rating icons to your search results as well as a browser button and optional search box. Together, these alert you to potentially risky sites and help you find safer alternatives. These site ratings are based on tests conducted by McAfee using an army of computers that look for all kinds of threats (detailed below). The result is a guide to Web safety. The SiteAdvisor technology is free, easy to install and even easier to use. And it doesn't collect any personally identifiable information.
What's new in this version: SiteAdvisor 3 includes plug-ins for both Internet Explorer and Firefox in a single file.

"Helps prevent you entering unsafe websites"
Version: McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.0.1.159
Pros
I wouldn't be without it along with Firefox and No more scripts I'm able to surf the Net a lot safer than I have ever been able to.I can't remember when I last got a Virus on my Computer and I have been on the Net for over 7 Years now.
Cons
I can't find any as its only a guide to what site is safe and what isn't, It's not 100% Guaranteed. It's like asking a Friend what film they would recommend but a REALLY good friend
Summary
Its like having a guardian angle looking over your shoulder telling you when to beware

"Misleading and random ratings"
Version: McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.0.1.159
Pros
Nice idea.
Cons
Terrible implementation.
Random ratings.Summary
Terrible implementation. The ratings are often random. Sites go from green to red even though they haven't changed, and with no information about why they're red. I've seen sites that are just DNS aliases for green sites get rated red. Basically brain-dead, needs to be put out of the world's misery.
