Question

Hey everyone,   I have been using McAfee siteadvisor for a few months and I like it. All of a sudden it is gone. I looked on my add/remove programs and it was still there. I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on so I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it and when I bring up IE it's not there. It's in  my programs but not on the browser. Is it just some setting I have to change or what????????   Thanks in advance.... Rob

you can also try, in IE:   TOOLS Manage Ad-ons   and make sure that McAfee SiteAdvisor appears (alphabetically) under the ENABLED list

In IE, click on VIEW Toolbars   make sure McAfee SiteAdvisor is listed, and CHECKED

no guarantee this will work but:   from the TOOLS, Manage Add-ons,   Highlight and DISABLE the McAfee.   i believe it will tell you the change will not take effect until after you restart IE.   close IE and reopen.   again from TOOLS, Manage Add-ons, Highlight McAfee (which should now be on the DISABLED list) and ENABLE it.     close IE and reopen.   see if it's there now...

ky331,   It's in the add-ons and is enabled but it's not in the toolbars. How do I get it there?

Glad to hear your McAfee SiteAdvisor is finally back, but sorry to hear you had to lose all your customized settings and favorites in the process :smileysad:   I realize its too late now... and I don't understand why choosing the default IE settings (which should effect security settings) would erase your favorites... but for future reference [or for anyone else reading this thread],  you should have been able to save/restore your favorites using the Import & Export wizard, under the IE FILE menu.

Still not there. What the heck...........

one other thing i guess we can try,   under VIEW/TOOLBARS, UNcheck Lock the Toolbars (assuming it was checked).   Then try again that disable, re-enable from the Tools/Manage Add-ons.   if this still doesn't work, I'll have to 'beg out' and hope someone else has more suggestions.
