Ocenture updates its offering to ITplease customers to include McAfee SiteAdvisor.

McAfee Total Protection for Small Business software that is included with ITplease Memberships will now include McAfee SiteAdvisor.

Notes from McAfee SiteAdvisior:
McAfee SiteAdvisor is a 5-star rated Web safety toll that helps keep members safe from adware, spam and online scams.  When members search Google, Yahoo! or MSN, SiteAdvisor’s safety ratings will appear next to the search results to help members understand the online risk.

While traditional security companies had gotten relatively good at addressing technical threats like viruses, they were failing to prevent a new breed of "social engineering" tricks like spyware infections, identity theft scams, and sites which send excessive e-mail.

To address this challenge, a system of automated testers was developed which continually patrols the Web to browse sites, download files, and enter information on sign-up forms.  The easy to use software for Internet Explorer and Firefox summarizes safety results into intuitive red, yellow and green ratings to help Web users stay safe as they search, browse and transact online.
