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.

- 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.
- D Gibson
- how do i get past this page? my only choice here is to "remove from chrome." I just set the damn thing up. confirm and move on? No. No chance. You guys suck at installation but I see you've already got my credit card info. what am I supposed to do now? I go back and this damn page reloads. There is no prompt here except to remove the damn thing you just installed. lame.
- Gary Bernhardt (Bernie)
- Very simple and easy to use.
- Jackie Chan
- tuff. helpful and protected my device's security.
- Octane
- Constant changing of default browser, constant spam of 'expired' ads. Yahoo kept being forced as a default browsers without consent; It did this 4 times before I looked into why and it's a direct cause of this extension. The whole Mcafee brand is borderline built in malware which will in fact give you sponsored ads on your own personal device if you've used the app itself not just the extension. Anything that forces unconsented change to your device really shouldn't have a place as a 'protective' service.

- Jon Saunders
- I've been a customer for some time now. McAfee has a strong security posture and has been rated at nearly the highest level of confidence achievable for an antivirus provider on the market. I really appreciate their innovative initiative in the access protection space and how they continue to reinvent themselves with new product offerings. Their browser extension has worked well for me and my family, ensuring sites are safe and downloads are vetted prior to hitting our system.
- CL Moncrief

- Getrude Mgijima (MaSueSue)
- It's easy to install. User friendly and have been using it for four good years.
- Pearl Chavez
- I keep getting warnings on my computer from McAfee that my protection has expired and need to renew. My protection does not expire for 6 more months. However, I clicked on it thinking I may be mistaken and now it says I have a Trojan. I signed up to Norton again as this was worthless in detecting this fraud.

- sophie
- Do not ever download this extension. I kept having my search engine changed to yahoo until i removed this and now its back to being google. After doing research i learned certain google extensions contain malware viruses that make changes to your pc. I reinstalled the app just to warn you guys to not use this ever.
- Jo Johnstone
- I find Property Smarts extremely helpful for my property appraisals. It is great to have the current photos and previous photos. The previous owners details have slipped off now - is there a reason for this?

- Patricia Zaffino
- Omar worked on my computer to fix a problem with pop-ups and took care of the issue. Very courteous and helpful.
- David Guthrie
- Ironic that the software supposedly helping you spot untrustworthy sites/links/content is so untrustworthy. The last straw for me was that this extension will consistently (secretly) set your default search engine to Yahoo secure search. No way to change that in preferences. GET OFF MY MACHINE
- J Key
- Very good product.
