With all the guides and tips on how to safely surf online I have come to a conclusion that there has to be a software somewhere out there that will get half the work done for me. And yes there is. The McAfee SiteAdvisor is the tool to help you browse safely in the Internet. Here are the reasons why you should have it.
It Evaluates Websites
With all the websites available it is impossible to check them all out for safety purposes. SiteAdvisor will do this for you in an instant. When you search a keyword using any search engine the results are returned with markings on each website. SiteAdvisor sets these markings that the website is safe or not. That is what I meant by doing half the work for safe surfing.
You Can View Website Analysis
For those who want to understand why SiteAdvisor marked a website unsafe you can easily view the reasons through the View Site details option. Here you can see the findings of SiteAdvisor. Do this before visiting the sites marked as unsafe. It will render the feature useless if you check on them only after the fact.
You can have it for Free
SiteAdvisor is a free software. That alone is enough to consider it. And the developer is one of the leading antivirus software developers in the world. This makes it a very reputable software application despite being offered to the public free of charge. You do not get such great deals very often especially on software products.
Safety in Internet surfing should be taken seriously and McAfee is doing this through SiteAdvisor. These are the reasons why you should have it to make the effort easier and more efficient. I just hope they upgrade it so that I can use it on Google chrome.
