I use Google quite a bit and I just realized that McAfee SiteAdvisor was not highlighting the search results with green, yellow, red or gray. A quick Google search didn’t help much either.
So I went to McAfee’s website and downloaded the plugin for Firefox again and voila, it works again.
I heavily rely on McAfee’s SiteAdvisor (free version) to help me stay away from bad sites. And that is the secret to keeping your computer clean of malware.
Check out McAfee SiteAdvisor here.

Good day,
I would like to comment a bit on McAfee SiteAdvisor. Yes, I use it to help find out about possible danger sites and since I use Firefox was not aware Google had quit it. However, I would like to point out that SiteAdvisor (and McAfee itself) is not perfect.
Two years ago when I started my website I wanted to offer a few free games by way of enticement. I found several at download.com and ran them through 2 anti-spyware programs and 3 anti-virus programs (both zipped and after installing to my computer). One of the anti-virus programs was McAfee AV itself. Of five tested three were reported clear of any problems so I put two of them on my site for people to download.
Now, since I was fairly new to the web at the time, it was over a year before I found out about SiteAdvisor. Being curious I ran my site through and was horrified that I had a RED X rating because of supposed trojans in the two games I offered as downloads.
I immediately took them back off my site as my goal was to always have an open and aboveboard website. However, repeated inquiries to McAfee SiteAdvisor about this has resulted in nothing more than a “Sorry about your luck” response from them and I still have the RED mark everywhere SiteAdvisor is used.
It wouldn’t have been so bad if I had just tossed any old thing on, but that their own program told me it was safe and then they blacklisted me on the other hand makes their name a rather overextended four letter word to me now and I can only guess how much traffic I lose because of their rather caviler double standard toward me.
Just FYI so people will know they also have to watch the watchers.
