Can anyone who has used it with IE (especially on Vista) give me a report on its effectiveness? Also, does it use much in the way of system resources or bandwidth? Thanks. -------------------- |

Hi Dialer
Ive been using Site Advisor for almost a year and its one of the most fantastic things Ive ever had for my browsers  McAfee Site Advisor is very effective in IE7 and on Vista (as I am not a vista user I dont know this first hand but ive heard good things )It is very light on your system (you will forget its there after a while thats how light  And it doesnt use hardly any bandwidth (if it does it isnt noticible and Im on dial up too is thats how I know )Dont worry about the Site Advisor pages loading slowly. I get this too .I highly recommend site advisor. But it would be nice if it could be used for opera. Happy surfing and good luck with Site Advisor if you choose to use it :D -------------------- "People die of disease and accident. Death comes suddenly and there is no notion of good or bad. It leaves, not a dramatic feeling but great emptiness. When you lose someone you loved very much you feel this big empty space and think, 'If I had known this was coming I would have done things differently.' These are the feelings I wanted to arouse in the players with Aerith's death relatively early in the game. Feelings of reality and not Hollywood." - Yoshinori Kitase |

Thanks, TZ. That's very helpful info, especially since you're on dialup too.
(Heh - I keep wanting to call you Taz, as in mania -  ).

QUOTE(Dialer @ Jan 19 2008, 01:24 AM) I'm considering installing the Free McAfee SiteAdvisor Tool, rather than going to the site each time I want to check on a URL. Their page loads very slowly for me. Can anyone who has used it with IE (especially on Vista) give me a report on its effectiveness? Also, does it use much in the way of system resources or bandwidth? Thanks. useful tip for a machine OS NOT compatible with site advisor; what proceedure do YOU follow to do that 'check'?
