McAfee’s WebAdvisor has launched its Edge Browser extension for the Windows 10 Store. This will be useful if you use McAfee as your primary Anti-virus, and now as an extension, you will be able to safeguard your PC from malicious websites, codes, and files you accidentally download.
This extension safeguards you from malware and phishing attempts while you surf, without impacting your browsing performance or experience. Here’s how it works:
- Search safely: For supported search engines, WebAdvisor will place red, yellow, or green safety ratings right in your search results so you can efficiently navigate to safe sites.
- Click with confidence: WebAdvisor blocks most potentially bad sites before they can harm, displaying a page to warn you of potential risks.
- Breathe easy: Even genuine websites can unwittingly play host to malicious content, but don’t worry – WebAdvisor helps to identify and block these risks while preserving legitimate content.

That said, it is always advisable to have local Antivirus installed on the PC if there is any false positive with this.
