[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 957584, member: 78686"] The one you can find on McAfee's website is an installer which installs the extension on your browsers and also keeps a service always running. The service helps to scan all the files downloaded by the browsers and delete them if they are malicious. I don't know if it has any other extra functionalities. If you install the extension only from Chrome/Edge/Firefox store, then only visited websites including third domains are scanned without the download scanning function which I don't need anyway. I turn on the McAfee extension when I visit suspicious sites, and it often detects nasty stuff. It doesn't slow down page loading at all similar to Emsisoft's extension unlike Bitdefender TrafficLight which does slightly. TrafficLight scans the URL early before the browsers is able to make any connection hence the ever so slight slowdown. [/QUOTE]
