Let me begin by making it clear, I love SiteAdvisor, always have. However, I was recently given a complimentary licence for SiteAdvisor Plus by McAfee for being "among the top 100 McAfee SiteAdvisor reviewers", something I originally thought was great.

The first problem I had with it, was actually downloading it - to do this you MUST download the McAfee download manager, you can't just upgrade directly from the free version. Why was this a problem? simple, once I'd downloaded the DM, I attempted to install it - no go (wasn't planning on writing this article or would've kept a screenshot, and can't re-produce it). Instead, I had to download and run their "Virtual Technician", a little program that apparently fixes problems with their other programs, thankfully it did, and I was able to continue with the installation.

Once the program was enabled, I naturally decided to go through it's options. The first new one I noticed, was Protected Mode
