How it works:

Search safely. For supported search engines, WebAdvisor will place red, yellow or green safety ratings right in your search results so you can efficiently navigate to safe sites.

Click with confidence. WebAdvisor blocks most potentially bad sites before they can do harm, displaying a page to warn you of potential risks.

Breathe easy. Even genuine websites can unwittingly play host to malicious content, but don’t worry – WebAdvisor helps to identify and block these risks, while preserving legitimate content.

As one of the world’s leading independent cybersecurity companies, McAfee actively protects over 300 million consumer devices worldwide and uses this expertise to power the real-time protection that makes WebAdvisor your first line of defense for safer browsing.

McAfee WebAdvisor for Microsoft Edge is a free download from the Microsoft Store. After downloading, it should auto-install in Edge.
