Publisher's description
From Against Intuition :Keep yourself safe from spyware, adware, spam, viruses, browser exploits, unreliable online shops, phishing, and other Internet scams. With the free WOT browser add-on, you can easily see the reliability of companies and websites. WOT will warn you and save your computer before you interact with a harmful site. WOT, Web of Trust, is an online community for reputation rating that lets Internet users share their knowledge of websites, helping you stay in control when surfing the Web. Besides its users, WOT uses hundreds of trusted sources such as phishing site listings to keep you protected against rapidly spreading online threats. As you search with Google, you will see a tiny icon next to the Web link: green to go, yellow to slow down, red to stop. You can easily customize the protection level to your way of surfing the Web. WOT has information on 20 million Web sites. WOT ratings are shown also on Yahoo, Gmail, Wikipedia, and other sites.
Version 20081111 is a bug fixing release.

Version: WOT for Firefox 20081111
Pros: WOT places icons next to not only search results but email as well (Gmail, Yahoo!, and Windows Live) and even links on Wikipedia. User-powered allows more sites to have ratings. In addition, their support response time is extremely quick.
Cons: User-powered may cause some sites to be rated improperly at first by inexperienced users and those who are vandalizing, however, they are usually fixed up very soon by other users.
Summary: This is powerful security over the similar McAfee SiteAdvisor. Unlike SA which has 3 colors next to only search results, WOT has 5 colors, not only for search results, but for email and Wikipedia as well. User powered allows more sites to be rated a... read more >>

"WOT shows me safe online shopping sites"
Pros: When I search the internet, WOT puts warning icons beside the results so I will know if the site is trusted or not. I do lots of online shopping & have been saved a few times. I am learning from other people's experiences & adding my ratings too.
Cons: Not all smaller online shopping sites are rated yet, but as the community grows, more will be added. I try to rate sites I know about to add to the knowledge.
Summary: WOT keeps getting better and better. I appreciate all the work you guys are doing! PS) your website is looking nice!
