Web of Trust (browsing software that protects YOU, for IE and Firefox)

WOT is a free Internet security addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free.

http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard (check your favorite website)

Worth a look if you are as paranoid as I am about the innernettubes. OH and it isn't Microsoft software for those who think I'm a MS shill.....

If the Bramaged one says it's OK, it is OK!

3. If I get a Mac, will I be safer?
Since my last case of internet virus, I am browsing a WHOLE lot less and I don't like being this paranoid.

6. I'm glad someone appreciated it......
I try my best to share the good things I discover in testing for work and sometimes for play (it's my job) and I read on here ALL the time how people run into trouble with their PC's (I KNOW the Apple and Linux geeks are simply perfect, and just don't need to know anything I share with the common folk)but the feedback for topics like this is very disappointing. It's not balloon boy, Meagan Fox, Roman Polanski, but it's stuff that


never mind..................:shrug:
