Strange . I`ve just gone to that link, clicked on "McAfee Sucks > more info", and was taken straight to the "Web Safety Rating" page. Tried it a number of times.
Whichever way I do it, "more info" or left click "view site details" on the McAfee icon, I do not go to the commercial page.
Tried it a number of times with different sites, and goes direct each time. Tried FF and IE. Same result.
Don`t know what you guys are doing different to me, but I do not get the ad page for the pro version.
Regards
Anyone that actually reads the ad page will know why as it tells you there (or at least it did last time I saw it). You should only see the SiteAdvisor ad page once a month, if you're seeing it every time just allow/keep the SiteAdvisor cookie.

I started a new job 'bout 6 months ago, and immediately I noticed the McAfee 'V' shield in the toolbar - eech! But anyway, corporate policy and all that .. who was I to argue as a new employee.
I put up with it for a while, but after numerous virus hits (through a so-called corporate firewall !??!?) - msiupdate32.exe to name but one !
I had enough of a f***in' virus that can shut down my (so-called) anti-virus software and infect me (and my colleagues through my network shares), I installed Avira AntiVir (my trusted & highly recomended AV software [since dumping another bloater - Norton]) - I'm now probably facing getting fired for installing external software - but yea, i've got my counter-suit ready
But I could not work with the crap that it was letting through - although on the plus side McAdidly-dee did tell me about certain viruses soon ('bout 1hr) after anything else spotted them (and only if I managed to get it restarted - version 8.5 does not seem to allow manual restart)
That said I think I may have salvaged my job after another 5+ machines died & I had saved mine using a combination of Avira / HijackThis / safe-mode !
Think it is the first time I may ever got a freeware tool mentioned in a board-meeting !

Nice one though the company will be seriously annoied that they have paid expensive subscriptions to Mcafee and could have done it cheeply (Avir/AVG/Nod32) and a few freeware tools
