Publisher'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 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 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: Version 3.4.0.143 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

"indeed good but the best is bitdefender trafficlight"
Version: McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.4.0.143
Pros
(1)Helps protect against spyware and adware
(2)Alerts on potentially malicious web sites
(3)Provides safety ratings for search results
(4)Helps filter safe web sites from not so safe web sites
(5)Helps to identify nefarious phishing scam sitesCons
(1)Toolbar safety button should be more prominent
(2)A paid version of McAfee SiteAdvisor takes the protection a step further, helping identify links in email that may point to nefarious web sites. The paid version also blocks attempts to visit malicious web sites - the free version is alert only. The paid version retails at $19.99 for an individual user, or $39.99 for a family pack that supports three users.Summary

"Must try harder,has potential but lacks application."
Version: McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.4.0.143
Pros
Doesnt seem to work on Cometbird.Big memory appetite for such a little script.
Cons
There is better freeware out there, my Armour Online blocks a site if it is definately dodgy. Site Advisor appears somewhat random.
Summary
I really, all things considered, don't see what the fuss is about,dissapointing performance for such a big brand name.
, it,s freeware because they couldn't charge the dollar. -
