tommyk Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 All of a sudden McAfee Site Advisor is not working. No more check marks for safe sites or any marks at all for any search options. I've uninstalled and re-installed and still not working. I'm using Firefox 3.6.21 Any idea why it suddenly stopped working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted September 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2011 Site Advisor has been turned off by Mozilla as an unstable addon (I though it was only for 5+ but i guess not) OT: Is there a particular reason you still use the 3.6 branch istead of 4?, 5? 6? ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators DennisD Posted September 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2011 You could try "Web Of Trust" as an alternative. WOT Firefox Extension: Home Page: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyk Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 I upgraded To FF 6.0.1 and tried downloading Web of Trust. It goes through the process but I don't see that it down-loaded to my system. I did a search for it but nothing came up. Hmm . . . what could be wrong?

tommyk Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Never mind . . . I guess it down-loaded. I'm getting the green circle for trusted sites . . . I didn't realize what I was going to get for a symbol for a safe site. However, when I click on ALL PROGRAMS I can't find "Web of Trust" in a search. So I'm not quite sure what's going on. I think it downloaded but if I can't find it with a search then it's a little disconcerting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted September 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2011 The SiteAdvisor site isn't even always accessible, it wouldn't load for me for at least 2 days this week. I don't use the plugin for it anymore but still use a bookmark link to manually check some sites I think WOT is full of crap about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted September 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2011 It is what it is really. Just an extension installed into Firefox's user profile. If it doesn't suit just uninstall it from "Firefox\Tools\Add ons" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
