McAfee, Inc., has acquired web safety innovator SiteAdvisor Inc. The addition of SiteAdvisor's database of tested and rated web sites to McAfee's range of solutions and services is expected to help redefine the way consumers surf the Internet, offering an unprecedented level of protection and confidence as they search, browse and transact online, according to company sources.
"In addition to the consumer benefits, SiteAdvisor offers great potential for our enterprise solutions as well," said George Heron, vice president and chief scientist at McAfee. "This unique technology adds another dimension of strength and value to McAfee's threat databases and will offer a significant corporate benefit."
According to a company release, "One significant advantage offered by SiteAdvisor is that it helps consumers gain a new level of safety when they use search services such as Google, Yahoo! or MSN. SiteAdvisor instantly displays its safety ratings next to each search result to help users make informed decisions about which sites they visit. Plus, as users surf the Internet, a small SiteAdvisor safety button on their browser toolbar changes color based on SiteAdvisor's safety rating for each site."
