Is it safe to install McAfee Site Advisor on your PC, if you already have and antivirus program installed?


Question:
I don't know if Site Advisor is considered to be an antivirus program also, and I just don't want to mess up my PC.

Answer:
most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser.

you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus. i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar.

firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser.

as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.

besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE. download firefox for free, Just have a try:

No! Never install more than 1 anti virus program they will often fight each other for control. Remove the old one before installing the new one.
Yes, it is okay to install it. It will not impact your AV product's performance. However if you are running IE7, it already has an anti-phishing filter as does some toolbars. Also to note that the Site Advisor does cause some slowdown and there have been a few reports of it not functioning well with other software.
