If you really want to remove it, I'm sure someone can help you. But I'd like to ask you, if I may: Do you know what SiteAdvisor is? It is not an anti-virus, but rather a web site "warning" tool. I would not be without it. May I recommend learning about it before deciding to remove it? Good luck!

Unless it you have it installed for Firefox, then it would be:
Tools / Add-ons / Extensions tab Scroll down to MacAfee SiteAdvisor, click it, to highlight it, and select Uninstall. Restart Firefox, for the change to take effect. -------------------- I love being married.

I don't know whether Add/Remove is safe, as the service is running and brute-force removal might cause problems. If it's not in the Start menu, uninstaller location is here C:\Program Files\SiteAdvisor\6066\Uninstall.exe I suspect it's safest thing to do, just run the official uninstaller. Reboot afterwards. Site Advisor is great. So is LinkScanner Light monitor. I wouldn't be without them when using IE. |
