    From Ed Vance@1:2320/105.1 to BEN RITCHEY on Thu Sep 27 20:21:00 2012
    Ben,

    I read your message back in May 2012 that you dumped McAfees Suite but
    kept SiteAdvisor when you started using MS-SE.

    Do you still use SiteAdvisor?

    I like seeing SiteAdvisors icon and the WOT icon on my search results.

    I will keep using WOTs add-on in Firefox, but wonder if when I remove
    the McAfee Suite if SiteAdvisor gets removed too?

    If it does can SiteAdvisor be grabbed as a download from McAfee?

    Thanks!

    Yes, under XP 32-bit Wins and Wins 7 64-bit :)

    Should stay there, separate D/L and Install ...

    If it does can SiteAdvisor be grabbed as a download from McAfee?

    Yes, goto Home software, Downloads, Free Services tab :)

    Thanks Ben,

    A few days ago it dawned on me that Firefox has a Extension and a
    Plug-in for SiteAdvisor.

    The Extension is a newer version than the Plug-in has, that is probably
    why I have been seeing Grey in SiteAdvisor, I'll try updating the
    Plug-in and Extension to see if I can get matched versions in both
    areas.

    I also noticed there was a McAfee Security Suite Plug-in that I will
    discard when I Remove the Mcafee Security Suite Program.

    I'm almost ready to do it - I've downloaded Avast! and Fortknox
    firewall, all I need is to find that elusive ROUNDTUIT. <grin>
