Seems a good idea but doesn't actually work, the opinions IMO are very highly suspect & using a modicum of intelligence works far better.?

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.

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!

I choose to install in IE but Mcafee SiteAdvisor to insist install in Firefox too. Also can't uninstall from add-ons. So I uninstall from my computer!

sflorack reviewed v1.5.0.7 on Jul 24, 2006

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..

Now a bunch of people decide what content can be see
and what can not...
Honest , I think that applications like this are garbage and no one should use them ,
there are better protection than that of a censorship decided studied by who knows who...
Shame on this...
