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.

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.
