This free program from McAfee works in IE and FF. It shows you while you search which sites are safe, and which are dangerous, hoaxes, or contain spyware/adware/viruses. No matter what level computer user you are, you NEED this program. It will warn you through simple colors (yellow, red, green) which sites are safe, and which are scams. Once you use it, you'll be shocked the next time you Google Search on a PC without it...which links are safe to click on?! Download this NOW. 17161

Are you worried about which web sites have potential virus scans? Do you surf on the web reluctantly and afraid of "stepping" on a hacker web? If so, this FREE program is for you. It warns you in a subtle way using color codes and mouse over information about each web site. RED is BAD, Green is GOOD, etc.
I love this handy and very necessary program! 15936

This is a nice program that takes and does what it says it does but, on the other hand it is a big memory eater and really chews up your system resources. But the program does well on giving you info on different web sites out there, and if it was not for the fact that took so much memory i'd still be using it. 15110

McAfee is the most trusted software. It's easy to use and Dependable. If there is a web-site that is not tested yet, you can turn it in to get tested. If you hit next to continue on surfing, the colored bubbles go away. What I do is hit the refresh button and they all come back. This is the best software to have because it keeps you safe from the really bad web-sites. I found it really easy to use and interesting on the information it gives you before you click on the web-site. 14618

This is a great way of identifying web sites which could cause a security risk. It's simple to use and is ideal for keeping novice (and expert) users out of trouble. A few more options such as the ability to switch off the information bubbles would be useful but this is a fantastic piece of kit none the less. 14354

I installed it and my eyes opened. No more worries for dangerous hostiles sites. Site Advisor is there, informing me for every single site. Not just "its OK" or "Not OK", but with details for how dangerous is and extensive details, why its dangerous, so I can judge for myself.
I can't imagine web browsing, or Googling without it (specially for no security gurus).
Thanks! 14131

If you are ever researching or just browsing the Internet for fun you know that the web introduces risks. The "SiteAdvisor" advises you to the content of the web pages you visit. Very handy to avoid spam, viruses, and spyware/adware. 13530

Why only IE? What about Firefox and other browsers?
Or are they considered immune against spyware, adware, spam, viruses, browser-based attacks and phishing? [Editor: A Firefox version is available also, use our search engine] 13385

If you haven't tried this software you should you will not regret it. I will not ever click on a website if it is highlighted in red. Green is a go yellow is caution and red is a no no.The absolute best piece of software i've come across in a long time.Just proud someone is trying to keep all of us safe from bad websites. Great job siteadvisor. 12234

This is in my humble opinion, a must have software for anyone to use, and rely on. While not all of the sites I visit are listed, they will at some point be on that list, because people cared enough to use it as much as I have. Using this one will only make it better for everyone. I enjoy being able to search, and having the advisor ratings to go by, determining which site I will visit and which ones I will want to avoid. Research suddenly becomes much easier and a whole lot safer. This is a good one. 12105

My general opinion about Siteadvisor - it's ok for what it is doing. But unfortunately it uses too much memory and the information it gives about websites is very very little. It even doesn't show who owns the domain, which is the major indicator.
Callerid gives this info right on their toolbar, and you know who is behind the website. 11847

I can't recommend this enough - seriously, there are so many annoying embedded crap on sites that at least now we have a way to see if the site is 'safe' ! I love this program. 11761

The program is excellent for weeding out malicious web sites along with giving the user relevant information about the sites. The program seemed very stable and gave a very clean install and uninstall. The reason for the uninstall is because of the memory usage that the program took up which I thought was excessive. At this time my memory requirements are all reserved for my security programs otherwise I would still be using this program. 11629

This is what people needed along with scanners like spybot and adaware, to keep from getting the stuff in the first place. So many computers I fix for people and they ask me how to recognize spyware or "how did I get that?", and it's so hard to explain to them what NOT to do on the web. This app is going on all my family's pc's and I am telling everyone who get's knocked out by malware about it! This is perfect! 11572
