A Helpful Guide for Internet Safety.
Adds safety ratings to sites and search results to help protect you from adware, spam, and online scams.

Why Trust Us?

Safety ratings from McAfee SiteAdvisor are based on automated safety tests of Web sites (including of our own site) and are enhanced with user feedback from our users and our own manual analysis.
We do not accept payment from sites to be rated, so we have no conflict of interest. We also document our safety tests for every site we analyze. Here are some examples:

ebay.com (View site report)
popularscreensavers.com (View site report)
kazaa.com (View site report)

Why isn’t the security software you already have enough?

McAfee SiteAdvisor warns you before you interact with a dangerous Web site. Traditional security products focus on trying to clean up problems after they occur.
McAfee SiteAdvisor also complements and enhances your existing security software by detecting threats which traditional security products often miss, including spyware attacks, online scams, and sites that spam you.

Do sites pay us to be rated?

No. McAfee SiteAdvisor does not accept payment from rated sites, so our ratings are objective and uniformly applied.

Easy to Know What's Safe

As you search or browse, SiteAdvisor's safety button changes colour based on our test results to let you know:

• Safe: We tested the site and didn't find any significant problems.
• Caution: Our tests revealed some minor security or nuisance issues. Also applies to sites which have previously had (directly or through corporate affiliations) past security issues.
• Warning: Our automated tests and/or our manual analysis revealed some serious issues to consider before using this site at all. (Example: The site sent us lots of spammy e-mail, bundled adware with a download, or has a business relationship with a company known for bad past practices).
