Browse safely, search with confidence.
McAfee WebAdvisor is your trusty companion that helps keep you safe while you browse and search the web. This extension protects you and your PC from scams, malware, and phishing attempts without slowing down your browsing experience.
Here’s how it works:
✧ Stay ahead of video scams*. Get alerts in seconds when the video you’re watching is AI-generated, so you always know what’s real and what’s fake.
✧ Click with confidence. WebAdvisor warns you of potentially harmful sites before they put you at risk.
✧ Search safely. For supported search engines, WebAdvisor helps you easily identify safe sites by placing red, yellow, or green safety ratings right in your search results.
✧ Breathe easy. Even genuine websites can unwittingly play host to malicious content. WebAdvisor helps identify and block these risky links while still displaying safe content.
As one of the world’s leading independent cybersecurity companies, McAfee actively protects over 600 million connected devices. We use this expertise to power the real-time protection that makes WebAdvisor your first line of defense for safer browsing.
* Video scam protection is available for McAfee Total Protection, McAfee LiveSafe, and McAfee+ plans. Availability varies by region and language.

It has allowed me to be interested in pursuing a woman again, and it has allowed me to find that kind of love again.

- STAY AWAY FROM THIS! Terrible. Has the audacity to change to change my settings to their own preferred bs. Yahoo? what is this? 2004?? That's what you call a safe search engine? if anything it's the one I personally trust the least. Screw up everything and then has the guts to demand payment? How dare you? Shameful and greedy is what I call this! -Sincerely, A user who likes to search through usefulness and safe engine like google!

- I noticed my default search engine kept automatically switching to "Yahoo Search!" Very annoying. ChatGPT says this extension is likely the culprit. I don't even remember installing this extension.
- david davies

- Michael D.
- I noticed my default search engine was changed to "Yahoo Search!" and not the official Yahoo, but something shady. After some research, I suspected McAfee, but seeing similar reviews here confirmed it for me. Obviously, I am uninstalling. I will stay far away from McAfee after this.
- Akash
- This will change your search engine to yahoo! without explicit consent or notification. Its not a virus, just a shady practice from mcafee to earn money from yahoo!. Also, this extension doesnt protect you much from malicious links.

- I don't know what this security is supposed to do, but something keeps changing my search engine from Chrome to Yahoo, everything I'm reading saying that it is a virus of sorts but this software hasn't alerted me or stopped the issue.
- Shridhar TL
- Keeps switching to Yahoo search and that happens very frequently like more than twice a week which is irritating. Additionally, so for not even single valid blocks for me. So not sure if its really worth having installed while considering the annoying search engine switch it does.
- rizwan maqbool
- does rarely try to force a switch to yahoo, but not too often. it also protects from a lot of dangerous websites, pretty good. it also scans all webites and downloads and ensures security. very easy to setup. it is not constantly invasive either, i even forgot for a few months that i even had this, have had no incidents since i got this
- Sean Ross
- Constantly forces a switch to Yahoo secure search. I spent two months trying to find the cause. Provides nearly no benefit and is incredibly invasive.
- William Williamson
- I love the way MacAfee is protecting my devices and immediately alerting me of possible dangers.
