Information tracking and reporting

What company- or user-specific information does SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus send

to its website?

SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus sends the host name and part of the URL when a managed system

navigates to a new website, and the MD5 algorithm for each application the system requests

to download. It also sends information about the version of the SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus

client software installed, the operating system version, and the language and country (locale)

selected for the operating system and browser running on the managed system. SiteAdvisor

Enterprise Plus does not send any identification data for the managed system, such as the IP

address or a list of websites visited by an IP address.

Does SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus track individual website pages viewed on managed

systems?

Basic SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus tracks the

domain specifier

for each unique website visited

during a single browser session. The domain specifier is the smallest amount of information

required for SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus to uniquely identify the site being rated for security.

(For example, if a managed system visited 10 different pages on the www.mcafee.com website

over the course of a single browser session, only a single visit to the .mcafee.com domain would

be logged.)

The ability to track domain pages viewed is provided, however, when the Web Filtering for

Endpoint extension is installed. This module provides an additional option in the Event Tracking

policy, where you can specify to track domain page views and file downloads.

Does SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus collect information when users navigate to intranet

sites?

By default, no. However, you can change this by adding your intranet domain to an Authorize

list, then deselecting the

Track events

option in the Authorize List policy. Disabling this option

prevents SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus from tracking and reporting visits to sites on the Authorize

list. You can also change this with the track visits to intranet sites option in the Event Tracking

policy.

If you have installed the Web Filtering for Endpoint extension, an additional option becomes

available in the Event Tracking policy to specify when to track visits to intranet sites. The default

is not to track visits.

If tracking visits to intranet sites is configured in both the Authorize List and Event Tracking

policy, the setting in the Authorize List policy takes precedence.

If Microsoft Internet Explorer is the only browser installed on a managed system

when SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus is deployed, does SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus need

to be redeployed after installing Mozilla Firefox?

No. The SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus client software detects Firefox when it is installed and

immediately begins to protect searching and browsing activities in that browser, while continuing

to provide protection for Internet Explorer.

What happens if a managed system has a newer version of SiteAdvisor installed

than what SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus is currently installing?

The installation process uninstalls the newer version of SiteAdvisor and then installs SiteAdvisor

Enterprise Plus. If users have configured client settings for SiteAdvisor, they need to configure

them again.

Color coding

Why is the SiteAdvisor button gray?
