Computer Security & Viruses/Site Advisor

Question
How do I restore the Site Advisor by McAfee?  It disappeared after my computer came back from the repair shop.  I'm assuming it is fairly accurate on detecting problematic websites.

Answer
Download Advisor to desktop. Go to Add/Remove Programs and remove. Restart and install again. You could click "Repair" but installing new is probably best - system repairs might have altered core security files. Any custom settings should remain the same.
