McAfee Site Advisor - Question about it.

Hello so i am new to this program, so i recently downloaded McAfee Site Advisor, Than the next day when i logged into my computer the program changed to McAfee Web Advisor? the UI even changed, and it even changed the uninstaller also, i got really worried because i thought it was malware or some form form of a virus? i did a scan with my AV and anti malware and nothing picked up.

Is this normal?

Hello mate thanks for the reply, thanks i got a bit worried because as i was uninstalling it it said "this program has scanned 20 websites" are you sure you want to uninstall.

its just strange because i installed it on my brothers computer and dad, and there program was still Site Advisior. but on my computer it was called 'Web Advisor" as originally it was named Site Advisor.

No need to be concerned. It will eventually change on their machines also. It has more 'Robust' features and Personally I like it. Quite possibly one of my Colleague's will pick up this thread,and add to the discussion.

Am in a hurry at the present time....

Cheers

not all installations have switched yet as McAfee/Intel are in the midst of the change.   Machines using software provided by their ISP's or by their PC maker may take the longest to get it as they are often behind the rest in getting upgrades through no fault of ours.
