| Are you having any problems with SiteAdvisor? I am.....but not sure what to do? Got 2 screenshots to show my problem: 1. 2. Siteadvisor is taking a long time to reply when I click "GO" to begin the process of getting a reply if a site is OK or not. The #1 screenshot shows how the site looks before typing an address in the search box. And, #2 screenshot shows the main problem I'm having...which is instead of giving a "green" OK for the site in question, it shows & tells me to try for a site report by typing the address in the box in the upper right....& if I do that it does not do anything at all, just sits there....? I hope you can help me fix this.??? thanks.... | |

| Repa, I remember you saying one time that you did not want to download the Mcafee Siteadvisor software onto your computer....I wonder if you would mind telling me the reason for that?......so I can make an informed decision about it.... With the problem with the siteadvisor site we've been using, we need something to use as a guide for safe websites...& I've been thinking of maybe installing Web of Trust ( www.mywot.com) or maybe the siteadvisor download, but I didn't know exactly why you did not want it on your computer??.....We do need something, some sort of guideline.....thanks..... | |

| Web of Trust is recommended by some. The way we use site advisor seems not to work any more regardless of browser used. I've tried both IE11 and Firefox. I don't like using these apps because they affect the performance of the browser. You still have Avast WebRep. If you've disabled it in IE, turn it back on - it gives some warning about the page you have loaded. It is the stair-step-like symbol in the far right corner of IE11 that changes color from green to yellow to red or may be gray indicating not enough information to make a determination, like our message board, for example.

| Repa Said: The way we use site advisor seems not to work any more regardless this morning it said "Page cannot be Displayed" Maybe they're working on it...?
Repa: You still have Avast WebRep I had to disable mine a long time ago because I was having problems with it.....I guess I can try it again but, unless Avast has fixed that problem I was having, I would still not be able to use it....Thanks...... | |

| Ok, or you can give Web of Trust a go and see how you like it. I've read that it is ok. | |

| Repa, SiteAdvisor that we use is now fixed....so for now I guess I can leave Web of Trust at rest.....
Are you using Avast WebRep these days???...Thanks... | |

| Not normally, I turned it back on when site advisor went on the blink, but will disable it if site advisor is working. | |

| I was looking every where for Avast WebRep before siteadvisor started working again & couldn't find it to enable while siteadvisor was down....and I still haven't been able to locate it for some reason....I've clicked on everything I've found within avast but don't remember where I last found it.....My current avast version is 2014.9.0.2006..if you happen to have this version perhaps you can tell me webrap's location for reference?....thanks........ | |

You have to activate it in your browser: Tools > Manage addons | |
