McAfee SiteAdvisor (for Firefox)

McAfee SiteAdvisor (for Firefox) by Network Associates

security add-on for Firefox McAfee SiteAdvisor is a security add-on for your Firefox browser that helps you identify sites that are linked to spyware, adware, spam, viruses, browser-based attacks, phishing, or online fraud. The SiteAdvisor service is based on a huge database with detailed test results for more than 100,000 pieces of software and covers more than 90% of the world`s Web traffic. The program integrates with search engine results from popular search engines and also adds an icon to the browser toolbar that indicates whether a site is safe to use, or should be used with caution. If SiteAdvisor has negative information for a site, you can review a very detailed report that shows any spam received from that site, harmful downloads, and association with other sites. Any negative ratings however should be taken with a grain of salt and investigated closer by looking at the detailed reasons for the rating. Unfortunately McAfee marks many innocent sites as `red`, simply because they are linking to another `red` site. Many of their ratings appear to be no longer based on actual facts, but rather machine generated assumptions.
