i downloaded mcafee site advisor and used it on mozilla firefox but then i started using google chrome and i dont see it on the bottom of my webpage like i used to. does it switch over automatically? do i have to change it manually?
No it doesn’t and Mcafee has not developed a Chrome version for that plugin
but there is a workaround which comes from the Google Chrome Forum
but this will not be exactly the same.
Scrol down to this point in the link.
To use this bookmarlet just drag and drop the following link to your Google Chrome’s Bookmarks Bar.
Mcafee SiteAdvisor
http://www.chromeplugins.org/tips-tricks/mcafee-site-advisor-bookmarklet-for-google-chrome/
A better idea and a great alternative is Web of Trust which is a proper plug-in for Chrome
and works on the same principle as Siteadvisor…..Green/Red Sites etc…etc.
I use WOT in Firefox and IE8 and wouldn’t be without it and its free also.
I need to know how long it last, if it takes the place of a anti-virus, and where to get it? I have a windows 7.
it’s not bad but not always accurate .you can get it here http://www.siteadvisor.com/
And for a second opinion on websites you should install W.O.T (web of trust) to your browser, it green lights safe sites,orange lights potentially unsafe sites and red lights definite unsafe sites .you can get it here http://www.mywot.com/
Both site advisor and W.O.T can be installed and used on same browser .
We’ve got ePO 4.0 running on our server and have deployed Site Advisor to our workstations.
I can see it in IE on the machines but it’s not displaying as an installed application in ePO.
All the other apps are there, like Virus scan enterprise and HIPs, but just not this one.
Any help would be great.
thanks

Have tried reinstalling it, it *is* on the computer, everything possible is enabled, have restarted a few times…why won’t it work! It was just fine until recently, now it no longer shows in the IE toolbar and isn’t doing anything at all. No ratings displayed for Google searches, nothin’.
Try to Uninstall McAfee Site Advisor Then Restart you Computer then install again McAfee Site Advisor or download here http://www.siteadvisor.com/download/ie.html
Site Advisor consumes 35/40 percent of CPU when running. Search engines stop responding. Computer freezes. Have to go to Task Manager and end running task each time.
control panel then programs find mcafee site advisor highlite uninstall or go to drop down arrow next to mcafee tool bar and disable
McAfee Site Advisor is blocking this game i want to play… it is not a virus.. (i know because i played it before)..
How do i make "McAfee Site Advisor" unblock my game??
It’s been a long time since I used Site Advisor, but it seems to me when you go to the site, and it first blocks it. You can select to go to page if you want.
Thanks
works great … i would rather have it running than not …been using with firefox as well as another called wot ….both work great with each other and 99% of the time agree with each others finding … noobs who slam it have no clue are same ones who like norton and or avg……….
I downloaded them both onto Internet Explorer, but I don’t see the icon for it. Whenever I search for things, nothing comes up on the side of the link. They are on Firefox but they’re not on Internet Explorer.
I don’t know why you would use both of them, you only need one. The firefox version is different than the Internet Explorer version. Did you download the IE version of WOT and Mcafee site Advisor?
Each time I log on to my computer, a Site Advisor box pops up saying it has encountered a problem and needs to close and asks to send an error report. It has the M (Macafee) symbol on it. I have tried a virus scan already, but nothing comes up. Please help– this is so annoying!
Do you have any other McAfee Products Installled on your computer? Uninstall the SiteAdvisor and reinstall it back. If the problem is the same try http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/free_security_tools/trendprotect.php?page=overview
I heard that u shouldnt have two anti virus i was wondering if anything would happen if i had site advisor and kaspersky
McAfee Site Advisor isn’t an anti-virus.It is an application to indicate which site is safe and which isn’t.
You can run them both together, I tried it 2 years ago and it worked perfectly with Kaspersky, no problems.
Hope it helps!
