Over the past few months I’ve noted that during the majority of Mcafee Security Center Subscription installations, McAfee SiteAdvisor is failing to install. I’ve also noted that on many systems with Mcafee SiteAdvisor already installed, it has recently failed to work. This may have occured shortly after an update, new installation of McAfee, or after a Firefox or Internet Explorer update.
The specific reasons why this is happening is unclear, and I have yet to receive a definitive answer form the McAfee community. There are a couple of workarounds that have shown success if you miss or would like to use the McAfee site advisor functionality. You may re-download the McAfee SiteAdvisor plugin directly, post-security center install from here: SiteAdvisor.
If you already have Mcafee Site Advisor installed, some success has been shown by changing how you search on Internet Explorer and Firefox.
- If you prefer Google, try using http://www.i.google.com and see if your Mcafee Advisor results show up.
- Within Google, type in your search terms and press enter. When the results page comes up, select ‘Advanced Search’, do not enter any information, simply select Advance Search at the bottom of the window again, and when the 2nd results come up, you should see McAfee SiteAdvisor again.
As for the actual technical reasons for siteAdvisor botched installations, and previously installed SiteAdvisor plugins failing, we would love to here why this is happening and once we have a solid determination and/or fix, we will post…
