Beware of SiteAdvisor 28.0

Have you launched IE lately though? When I did I was confronted with a EULA that had to agreed to and there was no way of canceling it other than end tasking IE. Unless of course they've gotten so much backlash in the past few days they could've changed something, that's speculation though and I won't be trying 28.0 or any newer version.

Yeah, I checked if it had messed with IE too and it wasn't installed in IE (and again no background processes while IE was running).

They must have changed it in the last few days then because that wasn't what it did at all just the other day.

I recently had it updated(I don't come here that often anymore ;) ) It updated fine for me, but I disabled the search bar that was added to the bottom of Firefox. But, then the next day, my mom got on and it updated for her and about 10 minutes later she calls me in here to show me how slow pages were loading. I checked the speed and the download speed was at a crawl, while the upload was pretty much the same. I disabled the SiteAdvisor add-on, restarted Firefox, and then everything loaded perfectly. However, I haven't noticed any speed changes for me with it still enabled.. :blink:

I don't use IE at all and the new process, McSACore.exe, is only using 5, 116K on my system. I'd rather not have another process though...

I like the idea of McAfee's SiteAdviser, but I don't really want to install it.

So I just check sites when I feel the need to.

Problem with that is it details allot of legwork especially when doing searches.

I use Yahoo which uses SearchScanBETA powered by McAfee.
