SEE SPYWARE COMING BEFORE IT HITS

     When I put free screensavers into the Google search box, up comes a page of websites with red Xs after them. That’s because my McAFEE SITE AVISOR program has already inspected these screensaver sites and found them loaded with spyware and spam.

     For example, McAFEE SITE ADVISOR tells me that Screensaver.com has 150 red downloads which can infect my computer with spyware, and that I’ll get “125 spammy e-mails/week.” In fact, when I Google screensavers, most of them have red lights and dire reports.

     There was a period when McAFEE SITE ADVISOR was offering the program free for Firefox, but they charged for Internet Explorer. I’m delighted to say that is no longer true. It is now free for both browsers.

     Following is the download spot if you have Firefox:
