"It PREVENTS you from going to bad websites."
Version: Crawler Toolbar 5.1
Pros
Have been using the Crawler toolbar and McAfee Site Advisor. McAfee will warn you once you get to a website if it's bad. Crawler actually stops you before you get to the site with a big RED box giving you a choice.
Cons
There are too many add-on's included with the toolbar.
Summary
It's very good at STOPPING you from going to a bad website to start with. It pops up a big RED box that gives you the options to either go ahead and take your changes, or don't go to the site. I think everyone should use Crawler.

"It has blocked a LOT of sites that contain spyware"
Version: Crawler Toolbar 5.1
Pros
Even when I'm doing a simple search on Google, it will catch websites that contain spyware and warn me to either block the spyware of not go to the site.
Cons
No cons that I found yet
Summary
I love this product! I highly recommend it! Before I downloaded and started using this product, my computer was infested with spyware. After I removed all of the spyware, I started using this toolbar and it has prevented more spyware than I can count!

"Crawler Toolbar with Web Security Guard"
Version: Crawler Toolbar 5.1
Pros
It works well on Firefox.It can block malicious content,tells you if the website you are in is suspicious and Web Security Guard's database is easy to update.I have never seen any adware or spyware from this toolbar and I have lots of anti-Malwares.
Cons
It doesn't work well in Internet Explorer 8.It sometimes causes IE8 to crash and the toolbar has problems updating,it fails to update.The toolbar is kind of useless without Web Security Guard.
Summary
Crawler Weather is a separate program from the toolbar.If you decide to install Spyware Terminator I recommend you don't use its Real-Time Shield because is too intrusive.You can easily disable Spyware Terminator's Real-Time Shield and automatic start-up so you can use it as a backup anti-malware scanner and remover.
