Review by Sibelius

If you have someone in your life just starting to get their feet wet in the wild and wooly world of the Internet - an elderly parent or aunt lets say - then McAfee’s Site Advisor Plus is exactly what the Dr. ordered to keep them protected from all the nasty, trickster sites out here. The program is very simple to install and maintains a relatively slim profiles on most basic rigs. Once up and running the program provides a relatively unobtrusive icon on your browser that informs users of the relative safety and security of whatever website they’re currently on.

For more seasoned users of the Internet such a product may not be quite as necessary. For one thing modern browsers (such as Firefox) have several free ‘site advisor’ type plugins that offer a similar level of functionality. On the other hand this product is so reasonably priced and offers a great level of update and support that one should give consideration to this regardless of other free options. Overall a solid product that does exactly what it claims and sets out to do.
