    It used to be a good plugin when it would just notify, one of the updates made it a system app adding it to all browsers and making it do a lot of other annoying crap. Now I feel bad for all the users who's computers I've installed this on. Way to mess things up McAfee.

    Piece of crap. Good luck if you're a domain owner who has their domain slurred as "dangerous" by SiteAdvisor, because McAfee will ignore your pleas to have the rating undone, even if it was a mistake, even if the "malicious" download was never really "malicious", and even if you no longer offer it as a download at all.

    Well, great idea, except that it doesn't work. After having finally purged my PC of Virtumonde I'd contracted by clicking on a link in Goolge, out of curiosity I downloaded this extension and checked the link again. It said the site is safe! What?

    While not a proponent of McAfee's products in general, SiteAdvisor is well implemented. I particularly recommend this to my more timid clients that use Firefox.

    I had been reluctantly keeping this installed in my Firefox profile, but chucked it out once I realized that it broke another Addon 'Aardvark'.
