McAfee SiteAdvisor for Firefox, PCWorld (Feb 15)
McAfee's free SiteAdvisor has been a tool for warning of risky sites in search results. Yahoo builds it into its search results now, and Google has its own system. Now McAfee has added a Secure Search box to the browser (Firefox or IE) so that you can customize the warnings when you are using Yahoo. It will work with Google but without being able to customize.
"McAfee's SiteAdvisor has always alerted you when Web search results list potentially risky sites. The latest version, with a new feature called Secure Search, is designed to make searching the Web even safer. But to do that, it places some restrictions on your surfing-and those restrictions may be too severe for some users."
