I am a bit nervous. I only downloaded it because I thought ATT sent it as an update. So whats up? Is this some sort of trojan horse? Is this the real deal or a scam? MSA sounds too good to be true. OR I am getting too suspicious. Thanks for any answers.
McAfee SiteAdvisor is 100% safe, I have been using it for years now.
It is not a trojan horse, SiteAdvisor has tested millions of websites and will change from green to yellow to red depending upon how safe the site may be. Its not always right but it sure can help from landing on a malicious site.
Of course you still need to use a good anti-virus, SiteAdvisor is just another layer of protection for your machine.
That dude that answered first, does not know what the hell he is talking about.
McAfee SiteAdvisor is a keeper!

Do not use that, Norton, or anything you have to pay for. I cannot imagine ATT sending out something like that. It is probably a scam/virus/spyware, yes.
Use Avast! for all of your anti-virus needs.

McAfee site advisor is safe and it’s free. It tells you what sites are safe or not to visit. I have it myself. Just make sure you download it from their official website.

McAfee Site Advisor is safe and is a service that provides the user with information on a site as to whether it is safe or not or is known to plant or hit a visitor with spyware or malware. About the worst that it can do to you is to maybe become a nuisance or annoying about telling you about a sites’ safe-or not-rating all the time to where it starts to feel like a pest sometimes. But for what it can save you from, most find it worth it. Best to you…

McAfee Site Advisor is a very good add-on for your browser & warns you about bad sites. Well worth using. It supposedly tests websites.
However, your "I ‘thought’ ATT sent it" would be a concern. Either ATT sent it or not. You need to be sure. If in doubt, don’t use that one. Go to McAfee’s site & download it from there, so you ARE sure of what you’re getting. http://www.siteadvisor.com/
If you use Firefox, try the Web of Trust add-on. It’s similar to Site Advisor & it seems to be faster. It’s saved my bacon a lot of times.
