Just that little extra to add to all the other security I have installed. I appreciate when arriving at a new site the green for OK sitting in the corner of my browser.

It's the most dangerus and worst thing that happened to the internet! This product from McCafee although well intentioned has punished websites by flagging them as spammers, and or dangerous downloads thus affecting the livelihood of the webmasters. Upon "finding" a malicious download, McCafee then "flags" the entire sie without attempting to contact a webmaster. For the websites that have been flagged as spammers, McCafee staff sign up on a pop-up and get on the webmasters' mailing list. They chose to recieve whatever mail that is sent to them, and then claimed the site was a spam site! If you use your website in your "tag line" on Yahoo Answers, and articles, they label that website (mentioned in the tag line) as a spammer site in the search engines. Have you noticed a dip in traffic check your ratings on Yahoo and Google! Look up your site's name and see if you have been flagged without your knowledge. You want to challenge the scan...good luck! Yahoo refuses to answer you...and McCafee tells you that they have to review your site, but first you have to fill out some application! Total waiting time is about four weeks...I haven't heard from anyone who has been susccessful of removing the flag. Better yet, what is the long term affect of having your site flagged? The flagged sites aren't even P2P sites!!! Just hard working webmasters and mistresses who have created a legitimate business....How's that for real time results! Don't believe me? Now, I want to challenge anyone that reads this...Yahoo, McCafee and anyone else that does a search on Yahoo for a friend of mine's site "kolbo.net" One hundred dollars goes to the person who finds as McCafee claims "a dangerous download" on that site...then post a review of how great this product really is!

The program performs as advertised. Very useful and uses very little room on the toolbar.
This program is not censorship because it requires your authorization to be installed, and sites which are considered "dangerous" by SiteAdvisor can still be accessed.
Also, you can't buy steak and return it to the store complaining that it doesn't taste like chicken. No one said SiteAdvisor would work with alternative browsers, and you shouldn't discount it's usefulness with IE. It would be the same as me going to all of the Mac programs and giving them all 1 Star and complaining that they didn't work on my Dell. Well, no kidding..
