This review is from: Mcafee Virus Scan Plus with SiteAdvisor (CD-ROM)

I use the free version of McAfee, available to me as a Comcast subscriber. It does a decent job (I guess) of keeping me safe from viruses, although it is a resource hog when it runs it's full scan of my system. Worse than any other program on my Laptop, including Nero 8, which can burn a DVD and take less resources.

As for Site Advisor? Don't trust it! It rates my personal site as RED, claiming it gets spammy email. I don't even have a form on my site to "sign-up" for anything. I contacted them, and was told the process is totally automated - so no humans are involved.

I have visited GREEN sites only to find they are full of spam, trojans and pop-ups. Again, why aren't these sites flagged?

So Site Advisor is not going to protect you. The virus software will do it's job, but there are also plenty of free anti-virus programs that will do just as well.
