Can anyone explain why McAfee Site Advisor (Free) is no longer listed on Download.com? It seems to have disappeared quite suddenly.

McAfee SiteAdvisor --- New Version??
Dec 23, 2009 6:25PM PST

Just found a new version of McAfee SiteAdvisor was added to Download.com on 12/23/09. Also discovered that an even later version is available when UPDATE is clicked (after install).

The newest version (the update) did not seem to work at all.

Any additional information would be helpful.

Thanks.

Site Advisor install/initiate

I'm no expert, but fellow user sharing my experience
that hopefully may assist.

I'm thinking the problem you are seeing is with your browser.

App worked instantly upon installation w/ Firefox.

Had to restart 2 or 3 times for some reason
as IE8 kept becoming 'not responding'.

Went to IE tools > manage add-ons as it wasn't yet enabled.

Program did work, then updated at siteadvisor.com site
3.01.159 > 163 you mentioned.

Set-up asked to reboot again, new software seems to work fine.
