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 3.5.0.0 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

"Fail to protect on phishing websites."
Version: McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.5.0.0
Pros
No Advantage.
Cons
Supposed to crashed my computer, did not protect from porn websites and contains viruses.
Summary
Please STAY AWAY from this webware. It can be a potentially unwanted program and webware that can harm your browser like mozilla firefox and important files. And fail to protect my computer on phishing and porn websites. I remove this program and install avast free antivirus webrep extension and its better than this extension. WARNING: Please REMOVE this program to prevent damage to your computer.

"I did not manage to install it at all!"
Version: McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.5.0.0
Pros
I used to be extremely happy with the free version. I used it since many years. Now I almost gladly purchased it, so that I can have it again.
Cons
The program did not want to install itself. I could not reach the service at all. Even I could not manage to request a refund, neither via web nor via two phone numbers. It seems like McAfee is not as friendly as it used to be!
Summary
I gave up struggling to get it working. I requested a refund via PayPal dispute and found another free service on the net, hopefully equally good as SiteAdvisor.

"Innacurate ratings"
Version: McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.5.0.0
Pros
None for users. Lots for malware who now have lots of people with a false sense of security.
Cons
Gives a false sense of security.
Ratings are based on nothing. They rate aliases of the same site differently and change ratings at random even if the site doesn't change.Summary
This service has been bogus for many years. I don't know why it hangs on. Do a web search for
siteadvisor wrong
Don't trust anything is says positive or negative.
