Now Enhanced with SiteAdvisor safe searching
Total Protection Service truly stands behind giving our customers a completely integrated solution – that now provides safe searching that tests the Web to help keep your systems safe from spyware, spam, viruses and online scams. The technology from McAfee SiteAdvisor complements and enhances McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection by warning users before they visit a dangerous Web site and helps to avoid online threats in real time.
What is safe searching?
McAfee’s safe searching helps users stay safe online by testing everything on the web and reporting its test results on its web site and through the integration with McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection. Safety ratings from McAfee are based on automated safety tests of Web sites and are enhanced with user feedback from our users and our own manual analysis. We do not accept payment from sites to be rated, so we have no conflict of interest. We also document our safety tests for every site we analyze.
How does safe searching work?
With the integrated SiteAdvisor safe searching McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection works with Internet Explorer to help users:
Stay safe while you browse
Stay safe while you search
Avoid real-time threats
As you search or browse, McAfee warns users with color-coded safety buttons based on the security test results, for example,
- Safe: We tested the site and didn't find any significant problems.
- Caution: Our tests revealed some issues you should know about. (Example: a site tried to change our browser defaults, or sent a lot of "non-spammy" e-mail)
- Warning: Our tests revealed some serious issues that you'll want to carefully consider before using this site at all. (Example: The site sent us lots of spammy e-mail or bundled adware with a download).
