Description from store

Search confidently, browse safely.

McAfee WebAdvisor for Microsoft Edge is your trusty companion that helps keep you safe from threats while you search and browse the web. This extension safeguards you from malware and phishing attempts while you surf, without impacting your browsing performance or experience.

Here’s how it works:
1. Search safely. For supported search engines, WebAdvisor will place red, yellow or green safety ratings right in your search results so you can efficiently navigate to safe sites.
2. Click with confidence. WebAdvisor blocks most potentially bad sites before they can do harm, displaying a page to warn you of potential risks.
3. Breathe easy. Even genuine websites can unwittingly play host to malicious content, but don’t worry - WebAdvisor helps to identify and block these risks, while preserving legitimate content.

As one of the world’s leading independent cybersecurity companies, McAfee actively protects over 300 million consumer devices worldwide and uses this expertise to power the real-time protection that makes WebAdvisor your first line of defense for safer browsing.

DEREK 2025-09-21

Chris why does the McAfee logo say I am not registered when I have already paid 03rd September 2025 for total protection it was posted to McAfee 04th September 2025, If this is not sorted out I will Demand a full repayment sent.

aahil 2025-08-18

I've been having the same problem as everyone else, Error, extension reloaded itself too many times. Now, its just offline and doesn't work. Please fix this. It was way better before this. Edit: They have fixed it, its not saying that anymore, thank you McAfee®

extension error reloads itself to often i pay good money to not be protected when browsing?

Patricia 2025-08-15

Suddenly had an EXTENSION ERROR and stated that it "RELOADED ITSELF TOO FREQUENTLY". Hopefully it will be fixed soon as I've enjoyed using this for a while. Uninstalled and reinstalled, hopefully that works.

Piyush 2025-08-15

I am getting the "This extension reloaded itself too frequently." message for this extension, and it seems this extension is not working.

Daniel 2025-08-15

WebAdvisor has Extension Error- reloading itself to often. McAfee providing no help on it. Not worth their time to troubleshoot & correct so not worth my time to use it!

Ron 2025-08-15

Extension error; reloaded itself too frequently. What is the fix? When will it be available? Internet security is a top concern for everyone.

Carl 2025-08-15

Keeps showing "This extension reloaded itself too frequently.". It worked as intended before but now its glitching out again and again.

David 2025-08-14

Extension failure! This extension reloaded itself too frequently. Removed -reinstalled-same issue. Would have given zero stars but review form won't allow it.

Igor 2025-08-14

Good

Duane 2025-08-14

Keep getting this message and cannot get the extension to run/turn-on. McAfee® WebAdvisor This extension reloaded itself too frequently.

Felicia 2025-08-07

This is the source of the "This App cannot run on your PC" pop up. I think it is from the July 7th update. Boo!! Get your programing together and fix it. It is super annoying. If you disable the extension, the pop up goes away. But then you won't have as much security.

Bryan 2025-08-06

thanks new to mcafee microft amazon and walmart nursing home have been helping me with facebook bugs and full hard drive

Bryan 2025-08-01

thanks

TTowers 2025-07-29

Muy buena, Cumple perfectamente su cometido y no interfiere con el rendimiento del navegador.

Christine 2025-07-24

why does McAfee keep popping up in the corner of my screen asking me to join. Witch i have already done it is most annoying... if it does not i stop i will ask for my payment back which was renewed on the& july25 '

David 2025-07-08

I cannot add my country or province or get codes sent to my mobile device; McAfee is about the best protection overall. I was over sold more protection than I needed so that should not happen on my next renewal. I removed 1 star.

Leonardo 2025-07-04

gracias

Russ 2025-06-22

McAfee works fine hope i lose the Norton popups

Rhonda 2025-05-01

Elizabeth, You have been scammed using paypal. I was yesterday and I'm in a mess. Don't call paypal on the # that is in that email.

Teri 2025-04-10

Why are there no responses from McAfee for the reviews and comments?

george 2025-03-04

no

Elizabeth 2025-02-25

I also received a message saying, my prescription is ready to expire. I actually was going to call McAfee today. That is scary to me, the first thing I thought of was it a scam. I need answers to why is it saying this? I'm getting all kind of information from PayPal, and other companies emailing me saying thanks for your payment of $664.00. I know I haven't given anyone anything. Who is paying attention to this?

Russell 2025-01-06

Stacey 2024-11-06

I hate McAfee. Just bought a brand new laptop and it will not keep popping saying I'm infected with 7 viruses. I broke down and purchased and when I go to the site where I purchased it says Im fine. But the pop up keeps coming up. Frustrating as hell.

Richard 2024-10-26

So, who do we have to talk to get this **** off our computers? I've been with McAfee a long time and I'm definitely getting sick of this. Happens on edge and google. So, tell me, who do we call?

Elaine 2024-10-25

Smiley24, I have had the same problem and need help. One of the virus' name is Hoax, and the other Trojan. McAfee we need help to clear our computers... same story: subscription is not renewed until May 2025 and it is reported todays date needs renewal. We do not need problems like this, protect us as promised.

Danny 2024-10-16

I renewed the subscription last night while trying to detect and delete viruses. I continued telling me my subscription was expired. I renewed again this morning so now iv'e paid twice. Still shows expired. My e-mail is [email protected]. Hopefully this will start workingn and i can be refunded for my 2nd renewal. I'm definitely no impressed.
