Latest Update $!?@

[kalmly]

I just stupidly allowed the newest update to be installed. HOW DO I GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION????

I've enjoyed using McAfee Site Advisor for years but I hate that the new upgrade widened my status bar. I would very much like to go back to the version I had previously--the one that sat there taking up no space and minding its own business except to turn red occasionally--please tell me how to do that. If that is not possible then tell me how to UNINSTALL.

Thanks.

If you got the same version as I did, go to Control panel, Add/remove programs, locate McAfee SiteAdvisor and you can uninstall it there.


I too dislike this version 28, it's just that in my case it forcibly installed IE components too crippling IE apparently in the process. I was using Firefox version btw. 🙂


About the previous version, I have no idea sad I too would like to get back my simple Firefox add-on.

It puts 2 02 bho's, 1 018 protocol and 2 023 services entries in a HJT log.

Older Versions of SiteAdvisor at Download.com.

@evilfantasy, that link there only redirects back to SA download page, where the latest version is offered.

The new version is v2.9. This is v2.877. McAfee SiteAdvisor for Internet Explorer 2.8.277

Try the firefox version, it does redirect back to SA.

Click Download now, it leads to here http://www.siteadvisor.com/download/ff_preinstall.html which does not offer Fx extension anymore, but this bundle which includes everyhting sad

I looked around for an older version for firefox but as expected it doesn't seem to be as easy to find. I'll let you know if I run across something...

[lordpake]

Much appreciated. I have no idea why they decided to kill off the firefox extension sad

I did manage to disable it, but the Uninstall option is grayed out. I'll check back again later. In the meantime I will google around.
