Site Advisor & Yahoo Confusion

It seems that Yahoo is now using a beta version of McAfee Search Scan when doing a Yahoo search. This seems to have somehow disabled the Site Advisor ratings from displaying next to Yahoo search results. Anyone else seeing this behavior? Still works fine on Google and MSN. Please advise. Thanks much. P.S. back to using version 6253 after the upgrade/toolbar fiasco.

RE: Site Advisor & Yahoo Confusion

From a Yahoo Blog (05 May 2008):

 

How does it work? SearchScan leverages McAfee's SiteAdvisor technology to alert users if risky websites appear in Yahoo! Search results. Starting today, SearchScan will be turned on by default for all users in the U.S., Canada, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and Spain, and will scan for three types of risks in our search index

It would appear just to be an extension to Siteadvisor for Yahoo searches as previously they weren't covered.

The ratings appear in my Yahoo searches. Perhaps it's your Yahoo settings?

If the problem persists please fill in a feedback form with a link to this thread and a technician will get back to you as soon as they can: http://www.siteadvisor.com/userfeedback.html

RE: Site Advisor & Yahoo Confusion

Thanks for the tips-- tried different settings but no luck yet. Another downside is that Yahoo now requires a sign-in for the SearchScan function to remember settings-- ugh! Will forward my comments to the link you provided and use Google for searches until things get straightened out.

Me too

My problem with SiteAdvisor on Yahoo search started two days ago. But I noticed an oddity, it did show ratings for sponsored results.:mad:

Today I've lost siteadvisor all day even on Google. And, I haven't been able to reach any McAfee support sites. Why don't they post something on their main page with the "virus of the day" to tell us something is wrong?

Does anyone have an idea when it's going to end?

RE: Me too

Today McAfee's servers have been up and down so Siteadvisor hasn't been able to "phone home" for site/link details, which probably was what was starting when you noticed the problem in Yahoo.

YES-- same situation here--- although my Google results are coming up OK (at least for now). I am just hoping that this is not the "beginning-of-the-end" for Site Advisor, although recent developments, including the task-bar fiasco, do not bode well sad

  Subscription, Free Trial, Pricing and Automatic Renewal Terms:

  • The amount you are charged upon purchase is the price of the first term of your subscription. The length of your first term depends on your purchase selection (e.g. 1 month or 1 year).  Once your first term is expired, your subscription will be automatically renewed on an annual basis (with the exception of monthly subscriptions, which will renew monthly) and you will be charged the renewal subscription price in effect at the time of your renewal, until you cancel (Vermont residents must opt-in to auto-renewal.)
  • Unless otherwise stated, if a savings amount is shown, it describes the difference between the introductory first term price (available only to customers without an existing McAfee subscription) and the renewal subscription price (e.g., first term price vs. each year thereafter).
  • Pricing is subject to change. If the renewal price changes, we will notify you in advance so you always know what’s going on.
  • You can cancel your subscription or change your auto-renewal settings any time after purchase from your My Account page. To learn more, click here.
  • You may request a refund by contacting Customer Support within 30 days of initial purchase or within 60 days of automatic renewal (for 1 year terms or longer).

  • For many qualifying product subscriptions McAfee offers additional benefits for free when you are enrolled in auto-renewal. You can check your eligibility for these benefits in your My Account page. Not all benefits are offered in all locations or for all product subscriptions.  System Requirements apply.   Turning off auto-renewal terminates your eligibility for these additional benefits. 
  • Virus Protection Pledge (VPP): If we cannot remove a virus from your supported device we’ll refund you the amount you paid for your current term subscription.  The refund does not apply to any damage or loss caused by a virus.  You are responsible for backing up your data to prevent data loss.
