Protection from Adware, Spam, Viruses, Online Scams
McAfee SiteAdvisor
We realized there was a gaping hole in existing Web security products. 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, we built a system of automated testers which continually patrol the Web to browse sites, download files, and enter information on sign-up forms. We document all these results and supplement them with feedback from our users, comments from Web site owners, and analysis from our own employees.

Additional Information
Because the Site Advisor reviews are unmoderated you can have posters who want to gain reputation points putting spurious comments not backed by fact into reviews on websites. For example for my site officezilla.com two reviews on SiteAdvisor claim I send spam because I use GoDaddy to host my dns (domaincontrol.com). These people have never signed up and have never receieved any spam but their dubious comments will live forever on SiteAdvisor.
