How to install SiteAdvisor

SiteAdvisor IMHO is almost as good an invention as sliced bread. Here are concise installation instructions.

1. In Firefox go to http://www.siteadvisor.com/download

2. Click the big orange button Download SiteAdvisor for Firefox now

3. Put a check mark in "I agree to these terms and conditions"

4. Again click the big orange button Download SiteAdvisor for Firefox now

5. Watch the top part of the browser; an info bar will show. Click on the button on the right end of that info bar.

6. Click on Allow and OK (this allows Firefox to download an add-on from McAfee's web site)

7. Follow the prompts to Install and to Restart Firefox

8. In the right bottom corner of the browser window should be a green button "McAfee SiteAdvisor"

9. Click on that green button

10. Put a check mark next to "Highlight search result links"

11. Click OK

12. Close and re-open Firefox

13. Search for anything; from now on Google, Yahoo and MSN search results should be highlighted

Remember:
RED: NO GO!
YELLOW: Caution, something is fishy.
GREEN: Good to go -- as far as we know.
WHITE: Not yet tested. Do you like to jump head over into unknown murky waters?

Feel free to post any comment you may have.

Thank you in advance.
