La extensión solo brinda reputación de los sitios web más conocidos, no tiene información de la mayoría. No funciona en lo demás, incluso se detiene y aunque la desactives y la vuelvas a activar sigue teniendo problemas. Lo mismo pasa en Google Chrome, comprobando así que no es el navegador el problema. Definitivamente la desinstalo y me quedo con la extensión de Bitdefender aunque no bloquee anuncios.

AVG is good compared to McAfee. The problem with McAfee is that its virus remover doesn't work well and it keeps sending notifications one after another. The solution is to uninstall it and then delete all of its notifications one at a time before going to Windows Defender or AVG or any other antivirus program as more than one will not work at a time. I agree that McAfee is not all cracked up to be and do what it is supposed to do. My laptop is brand new and McAfee messed things up royally so I called my son and he told me what to do. Now with Windows Defender I am a happy camper. I have used AVG for many years and it does just as good by itself without any other antivirus installed.
