Thread: Mcafee Site Advisor

how many of you are using "Mcafee site advisor" which add safety ratings to our search engine results?

It is an excellent tool which i recommend for everyone.

is it available as a FF addon, I'm currently using WOT and it does its job pretty well...

I heard MSA is pretty good too...

i too use WOT came to know about that through Ad-on thread...

i installed WOT once, but didnt try to extreme level.

MCA is not an addon to firefox/IE but its a small tool that integrates with these browsers

once i had a real time issue with a site and firefox clearly picturized it as Phishing.
McAfee SiteAdvisor

How about your exp with WOT?

I am using WOT.It seems to be a good one. I make a lot of google, so it helps to keep myself safe from attack sites.

I'm using WOT since long... And its sufficient... Though I use the McAffee Site Advisor and Norton Safe Web time-to-time too.. But only on their site to check a url!

cute answer but its difficult to predict malwares on our own

Especially when you do online transactions!

I don't think i'm over confident...
Take a few precautions and you'll never end up being phished or with any malware on your system. Trust me skap identifying a virus is easy if you've had enough experience.

might be but i dont know.

ofcourse, user awareness is strictly required even when we have all security measures in our computer. because only the user has to properly judge when they come across any phising sites or emails.

If you are concerned about phishing, i suggest Norton, it puts a plug in into Firefox and warns phishing. It comes with NIS 2009. I am not sure if it is available independent. If you are interested in 90 day trial please use this link.

I too thought so once... But u never know what hackers are upto these days They even infiltrated Kaspersky website i think If ur confident, then ok..


^ also bitdefender internet security installs an antiphishing plugin in web browsers... U can try the trial and am not saying anything about trial resetting bitdefender :angel: But i just disabled it cos of WOT

I use both WOT & Norton. Just to make sure
