BleepingComputer.com: Mcafee Siteadvisor Problem

hi i have Mcafee Siteadvisor iv had it for about 2 weeks now and lately every time i close internet explorer this pop up comes up saying "McAfee Siteadvisor has incountered a problem and need to close" and it tell me if i want to send an error report or not (i usually click on dont send error report). Anyways can anyone tell me how to fix this.

THANX IN ADVANCE

Yea I get that too. It just started. I have ran SiteAdvisor for a long time. Since you got it also, I think its a problem with SiteAdvisor.

What I do, and you may want to, is turn off Error Reporting in Windows. Just FYI
Start>Control Panel>System>Advanced>Error Reporting>click on "Disable Error Reporting"

Cilypudi said you can also disable the pain in the ass Dr. Watson program, but that is a little more involved and requires copy and export of the AeDebug key. You can Google how to do it.

Hope this helps.

I had that exact error and got frustrated and removed it too. But McAfee lets random people review sites ... I am not really comfortable with alot of their "opinions".

ok well im going to try reinstalling the program to and see what happens thank you all for your help.

That's what I was going to ask, do you have the latest version installed?
v. 23 build 3534

Let us know how it goes.

I have the latest version of McAfee Site Advisor and I get that error quite often.

I'm still running V = 22.0 Build = 3532.

I guess I won't install the latest build as I don't have any problems.

I get the error message occasionally, and my program says I now have "Version 1.5.1.3 [Build 3472], 12:47 27-Jul-2006". It's not a big problem.

@BigFish.....the random opinions on Site Advisor I find sometimes intriguing. The program itself is interesting to CilyPudi on many levels. I find myself exploring the ratings of links, check out email sources, cookies used, the registry breakdown of downloaded programs and all kinds of stuff. And of course, I can post whenever a site tries to attack me! Great revenge.

I was a charter Beta tester back when everyone was afraid to sign up because of feared privacy issues. I am listed on the site as a O-Fish-al beta tester, whatever.

To me, the program IS a little invasive as they save a ton of info about your browsing behavior, but I ain't doing enough that the Feds should notice (hee hee). I enjoy having it while I surf anyway.

yes i do have the latest version. I dont get that eror thing any more because i reinstalled it. If anyone has the same porblem just reinstall it it should work. If you do want to reinstall go to add/remove programs on your control panel and delete it then download it from the site you origanally got it from, if you forgot then you can download it here:

I closed my internet explorer borwser for a sec then opened it back up and McAfeesiteadvisor WAS GONE! I went to add/remove programs and clicked on remove and it said that the program was already removed, and it told me if i wanted to just remove it from the add/remove program list, so i removed it from the add/remove programs lis and tried to reinstall it i wne to the website downloaed it and went through the process, and it still wont show up on my IE!?!? Can anyone help me on this issue.

You could see if it is in your program file. C/ program file/ SiteAdvisor
Check also in My Downloads. My Downloads is found in My Documents

Move/delete the file(s) to the recycle bin


Do a search for SiteAdvisor and move/delete any files to Recycle Bin

You could then either download and reinstall or not. Your choice. Don't have a clue why it is being difficult.

May need to uninstall from Firefox > tools > extensions
