"Just does not cut it"
Version: Web of Trust for Internet Explorer 20100303
Pros
I un-installed 2 hours aftre installing it
Cons
Wrong results and biased results

I just can't trust a piece of software that allows others who might have an interest in the site to provide an opinion.

"A very dependable guide to unknown web sites."
Version: Web of Trust for Internet Explorer 20100303
Pros
Solid performance with regular updates continues to define trusted sites.
Cons
Some sites are very destructive and should be avoided at all costs but no stay away warning for the really dangerous sites exists.
Summary
Very helpful wandering the web looking for new sites, 100% reliable as a guide, quick to react when browsing and uses few resources on the computer.

"this is a good feature and works on history"
Version: Web of Trust for Internet Explorer 20100303
Pros
the color indication is fine and it is something I can trust
Cons
although it works well the positioning is not always centered before you enter a site but when you are into any given site it shows quite well at the end of the top line which gives you a choice
Summary
i like the overall function of this tool but again while web surfing it only shows the potential warniings and has no stopage of sitr entering so for a visual tool its good but with no sound or other functions keep your security on when others may have access and don't realize what it's function is

"Great idea but need to be careful of malicious ratings."
Version: Web of Trust for Internet Explorer 20100303
Pros
You can,t beat that warning before you enter a site, it makes you pause and think about what you are about to do.
Cons
Seems to be a bit easy to brand a site as spam, or a scam these things need to be verified.

"Needs to rethink how sites are rated."
Version: Web of Trust for Internet Explorer 20100303
Pros
-Has warned me about sites that were malicious
-Takes up little to no resources
-Better than steadvisorCons
Not always accurate in its rating. Anyone can rate a website
Summary
In theory this is an excellent program, just the way websites are rated needs to be changed.
There are many great people in the WOT rating community, however there are still far too many people who rate sites poorly based on false information or reasonings. -

"Awful; Ethical Issues"
Version: Web of Trust for Internet Explorer 20100303
Pros
Occasionally gets it right about a website.
Cons
Allows ANYONE to rate a site good or bad, even if the site isn't what the user said it was. (Their site is very much umoderated.) Also jams registry up with empty code.
Summary
Overall, I don't like this program one bit. As I said, this program has ethical issues
