McAfee Launches Site Advisor Plus

Security company McAfee has announced the launch of McAfee SiteAdvisor Plus, the first Web safety tool to actively shield consumers’ computers from dangerous Web sites encountered when browsing, searching, and instant messaging or e-mailing.

McAfee SiteAdvisor Plus is a premium product that extends the value of McAfee SiteAdvisor, the world’s first safe search and browse technology.

McAfee SiteAdvisor Plus actively enforces SiteAdvisor’s safety ratings and shields computers from interaction with risky sites by checking links in e-mail and instant messages, preventing users from navigating to risky sites and by adding advanced phishing site detection. Consumers can use McAfee SiteAdvisor Plus to complement their existing McAfee products, with non-McAfee security products, or as a stand-alone solution.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

McAfee SiteAdvisor is available as a free tool, and tests more than 95 percent of the trafficked Web for spyware, adware, spam, browser attacks and online scams. These test results are used to develop site ratings which are communicated to end-users via intuitive red, yellow and green icons. More than 250 million times each day, consumers use these ratings to advise them about which sites are safe and which are not.

“McAfee SiteAdvisor Plus is a strong complement to McAfee’s easy to use and comprehensive consumer product line. This product extends to IM and e-mail communications the ’early warning system’ SiteAdvisor pioneered for browsing, searching and transacting online,” said Bill Kerrigan, executive vice president, McAfee Consumer. “Coupled with our security suites, McAfee delivers proven, integrated protection at each step of a consumer’s computer experience.”

McAfee SiteAdvisor Plus is available as a free trial here beginning November 6 and here later in the week. The product is priced at $24.99 for a single computer license and $49.99 for a 3-computer family pack.

Born with the sole aim of correcting people, Sharon took to copy-editing at an early age. In the olden days her methods of correction were rather unorthodox. Don't believe us? Ask the intern who lost two of his er.... Oh ok, I guess we don't talk about that. Now after she got a kid, things have relatively mellowed down. Besides handling the plethora of content that comes out of Tech2, Sharon also handles our sister site, CompareIndia where you can well compare prices of pretty much every electronic item under the sun and CHIP magazine as well, if things weren't heavy enough. She handles a team, all of who seem real happy as long as they're not chained to their desks. see more
