SiteAdvisor
SiteAdvisor is a website reputation and security scanner from McAfee that helps protect users from malicious, phishing, and deceptive websites. It runs as a browser extension or standalone security tool and provides real-time warnings when you visit sites with poor safety ratings, tracks unsafe downloads, and rates the trustworthiness of websites before you click links. It has historically been used by consumers concerned about malware and phishing threats while browsing.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSiteAdvisor is a McAfee product, but we found no recent information confirming whether a native Apple Silicon build is available. McAfee maintains several security products with native Apple Silicon support, but SiteAdvisor's current status is unclear. Contact McAfee directly or check their support site to confirm whether a native build exists or is planned before macOS 28 arrives in September 2028. If SiteAdvisor is no longer actively developed, you may want to consider alternative Mac security tools such as Malwarebytes, Kaspersky, Sophos, or Norton — all of which offer native Apple Silicon builds and active threat detection. In the meantime, your Intel-only copy will continue to run under Rosetta 2, but that compatibility will end when macOS 28 ships.
