The McAfee SiteAdvisor, later renamed as the McAfee WebAdvisor, is a service that reports on the safety of web sites by crawling the web and testing the sites it finds for malware and spam. A browser extension can show these ratings on hyperlinks such as on web search results.[1][2] Users could formerly submit reviews of sites.[3]
The service was originally developed by SiteAdvisor, Inc, an MIT startup[4] first introduced at CodeCon on February 10, 2006,[5] and later acquired by McAfee[6] on April 5, 2006. Since its founding, it has received criticism for its improper rating of some sites, and more importantly the length of time it takes to resolve complaints.
