Thanks for installing McAfee SiteAdvisor!

You should now see a small McAfee SiteAdvisor button on the bottom right of your Firefox browser (in your status bar).

As you browse the Internet, the button will change color to advise you of SiteAdvisor's test results.

You can click on the McAfee SiteAdvisor button to display a menu which will give you more options and allow you to customize SiteAdvisor.

One good way to see SiteAdvisor in action is to try searching for certain "dangerous" search terms on Google or Yahoo!.

Google Reader can now be placed in your pocket, your handbag, your backpack, or thrown from person to person in a game of "keep away". We've just released a mobile-friendly interface for Google Reader.

If you use the Google Personalized Homepage and have installed our Reader Homepage Module, it'll automatically show up on your mobile homepage. Simply go to google.com on your mobile phone's browser and click the link to "Personalized Home".

It's great for browsing your reading list during meetings (not that the Reader team is doing this) or while waiting in line to renew your car registration.
