I've noticed SiteAdvisor Greyed out today, is it down today? Using XP SP3 - Firefox 3.5.5.
Also greyed out in IE.
Mine's OK at the moment. Perhaps the server for your area is down.
Thanks Ex_Brit, I'll keep an eye on it.
Looks like something is happening to some computers and not others. My wifes (Windows XP Home) PC SiteAdvisor is working. My (Windows 7 64 bit) is not. Any Ideas?
Sorry, I have no ideas other than local server glitches.
I just removed and reinstalled McAfee Total Protection. SiteAdvisor works now. However it is the 2.8 version. Tried the update and it says I am up to date. I know I had SiteAdvisor 3.0 before. Are you sure support is communicating well with you?

regarding the version - the download always gives a slightly older version, it will update silently.

and noticed that this version zooms the green box, sometimes off the screen but I can live with that.
If it's not one thing, it's another....!! Well at least it's working, sort of.
All the best.
I'm in the same situation as "TomTinsley". Two days ago I did an uninstall reinstall for the same reasons (posted separate item on the subject "FYI if Site Advisor Greyed Out"), which resolved my problem. Today, once again McAfee has (as you say Ex Brit) "silently" updated me to version 3.0 (from 2.8) & Site Advisor is once again "grey". I find it odd that the update/version date reflected for SA is 31/12/1969 (as before) ????. I doubt server up or down has anything to do with this. I could uninstall/reinstall again but suspect will be undone again in a few days. Suggestions ?
