SiteAdvisor
DarkScenario is safe-scanned by SiteAdvisor.com
SiteAdvisor was founded in April 2005 by a group of MIT engineers who wanted to make the Web safer. Having spent one too many holiday breaks trying to clean a mess of spam, adware, and spyware from their computers, they decided to take action. They 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.
On April 5, 2006 they announced that they were acquired by McAfee, Inc.
