Mcafee sends me spam mail in my inbox daily. Even if I block their mail I can't escape. It gives food for thought when what should provide security itself creates uncertainty. 😡
I don't want anything to do with Mcaffe, what do I do?
This product is quite dangerous. Dangerous not for the user of course. Dangerous for medium and little sites. I recently read an article describing a case where a siteadvisor assigned the wrong category to a site. Category from unwanted categories. As a result, links to this site began to removed from the cataloges and other sites. As a result, Google began to send less traffic to it and the luvfree site was actually destroyed after six months. So I strongly recommend that site owners periodically check which categories siteadvisor assigns to you.
Unlike MyWOT, their rating system is reliable so far. I installed their add-on to my browser and it's working very smooth and light. It doesn't bother you with pop-ups etc. I didn't see any biased rating so far.
