Review

This is official description

You can use McAfee SiteAdvisor as your launch pad to a more secure Internet experience. With Secure Search, you can block risky sites, avoid dangerous clicks caused by typos, and find safer shopping experiences with McAfee SECURE sites.
Use McAfee to help guide your search decisions. SiteAdvisor safety ratings now appear alongside your search results whether you use Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft Bing or any other search engine.
The small McAfee button on your browser changes color depending on that site's tests for spyware, spam, phishing and scams. McAfee gives you the confidence to explore the Web with more freedom.
 
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 2.6

McAfee's SiteAdvisor is an online security application. The SiteAdvisor service is composed of several bots that spend day and night verifying most websites and checking whether they are secure to browse or not. This application summarizes those safety results onto your web browsers. Once you open a page, there will be a colored icon at the bottom right corner of Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. If the color is green, the website is secure. If the color is yellow, the site contains elements that are considered by the results or people in general as adware or spyware. And, finally, if the color is red, the user is advised not to share his personal information or trust the site. Most of the sites will have a green status, while a good number of them will be yellow, but that is not something to worry about. SiteAdvisor protects the user from virus, malicious code, adware, spyware, identity theft, and online scams. The last two items of that list are probably the most important security threats nowadays, and SiteAdvisor detects them and tells the user not to incur in any activity with those sites.
  • Lets you browse the dangerous world wide web safely.
  • Runs hidden, but alerts when an unsafe website is opened.
  • None.
