    I like this site advisor because before opening the site it let me to Know that site is safe for me or not and all site which is represented by red are always give some trojans so it alerts us to not to surve/download from this site

    This is not freeware, this is nagware.

    I used to use this program with Firefox was great at the beginning but then McAfee took it over and it was not long it became more like nagware then freeware, the system resources it used started to increase plus the add-on for Firefox began taking a life of it's own elsewhere on my computer I consider that a security risk (when you are not clearly told) etc.
    Plus I really don't think any one can take SiteAdvisor's rating etc. seriously anymore. McAfee managed to take something good and scew it up to something useless like their other products.

    I've been trying out WOT add-on for Firefox looks like a far superior product. Looks like it has a community supporting it, rating websites, wanting comments etc. there's even settings for children etc. I've just starting to use it so for now have little to say about WOT but so far it is far superior program then SiteAdvisor and far more accurate since you can rate a website yourself etc.

    I don't know- something about this thing I don't like. Smells fishy to me.

    What Duster said. This is a 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.
