#MCAFEE TOTAL PROTECTION INSTALL SOFTWARE#

McAfee SiteAdvisor now makes use of the TrustedSource website reputation organisation, to act as something like a 'cloud' intelligence software to get the most up-to-date information on websites as possible, very similar to McAfee's Active Protection (Artemis) system.

Malicious code and browser exploits often spread fast over large numbers of websites, meaning a Green rating may not be up to date and may provide a false sense of security. The very nature of SiteAdvisor and the long periods between site crawls mean that even if the SiteAdvisor tests were 100% accurate a Green rating offers no guarantee of safety. SiteAdvisor has published various reports regarding online threats such as typosquatting, where mistyped domains may lead to sites ranging from harmless pay-per-click and domain parking sites to pornographic and malware sites. Ī flash-based memory training game called 'WebQuest' was launched around 2007. In March 2006, McAfee launched a JavaScript-based quiz which has users pick between sites rated as safe and unsafe. Its defining feature was that it would deny redirecting to sites classified by SiteAdvisor as insecure, to provide users receiving a 'mcaf.ee' URL with the confidence that they would not land on a malicious site. Īs of December 2010, McAfee Secure marketing materials say there are 350 million installs of McAfee SiteAdvisor, and a likely much larger viewer base with search engine agreements such as that with Yahoo.Ī URL shortening service which advertised itself as 'secure' was operated until mid-2018. In addition to selling to the end consumers, as of 2017, McAfee also sells to the web site owners with their McAfee Secure program, which supposedly runs daily security checks and gives passing sites a 'McAfee Secure' badge.

This can stop downloads which are considered to be slightly, probably or possibly risky depending on setting determined by the user.

Download Protection - SiteAdvisor LIVE allows the consumer to adjust how aggressively SiteAdvisor scans downloads.

Ī paid version of McAfee SiteAdvisor, McAfee SiteAdvisor LIVE, is included in McAfee Total Protection and has extra features:

Redirects you away from red and yellow sites (if Protected Mode is enabled).

Alerts users to possible phishing and identity theft scams.

Allows users to safely shorten URLs when sharing links.

Indicates sites potentially harmful to your computer.

Sites are rated in levels of Safe (green tick), Suspicious (yellow exclamation mark) and Unsafe (red 'X'). Prior to mid-October 2014, the functionality of SiteAdvisor could be accessed by submitting a URL to the website at, but can now also be accessed through a downloadable Browser Plugin.
