Safe Search and Surf
McAfee
® Internet Security Suite with SiteAdvisor™ adds safety ratings to websites and search
engine results based on comprehensive spam, adware, and online scam safety tests.
SiteAdvisor™ analyses the results and rates websites in detail for unsafe or annoying practices
such as dangerous downloads, spamming, misuse of personal information and browser
hijacking. When searching with Google, Yahoo! or MSN, SiteAdvisor™ provides easy-to-
understand safety ratings—red (danger), yellow (use caution) or green (safe)—that appear
next to search results, helping you make informed decisions. PC World Magazine named
McAfee ® SiteAdvisor™ 15th on their list of the top 100 products of 2007.

Halts Hackers
Constant inbound and outbound monitoring helps McAfee
® deter hackers, identity thieves and
malware programs from robbing data, hijacking your system (such as to send spam) or
planting viruses that can compromise privacy over dial-up or broadband. Fast "load and go"
setup, customizable security levels, visual tracing, smart alerts, full screen mode and
intelligent application handling help fine tune security, identify the source of threats and block
suspect programs from "phoning home" personal information. Other built-in features include:
Stealth Mode helps hide your presence online, making your system practically invisible to
global hackers. HotSpot detection automatically elevates McAfee
® firewall security when you

connections before security programs are fully loaded.
Blocks Spyware
McAfee
® ’s spyware protection detects, blocks, and removes spyware, adware, and other
suspicious programs before they can steal log-ins and passwords (key-loggers), hijack your
dial-up connection (Web dialers), track online surfing (cookies) or flood your surfing with
annoying pop-up ads. Better protection based on new integrated anti-virus, anti-spyware
engine. Now also detects and blocks tracking cookies.
