SiteAdvisor is testing all Web sites for spam, spyware, & safety threats. You browse and search as normal and their empirical data (green=good, yellow=caution, red=bad) appears in an icon in IE or Firefox & next to results in Google, Yahoo, & MSN. Every site gets its own site details page w/ in-depth analysis. They launched a slick redesign today.

This is either an extension for Firefox or an add-on to IE. I'm trying it out now and it's pretty nifty. I found a website that installs spyware and has viruses in it's downloads

/me is liking this!

OK, so i've only had it installed for half an hour but i think this is a really good idea and will save a lot of people knackering up their computers with dodgy downloads etc.

I know IE7 Does something similar but i won't use IE unless i have too.

So far this gets a big :thumbs: from me

Not a bad idea. But I'm waiting for the first person to fool it in to telling a user a site is safe when in reality it isn't. Not that something like this can't work, I'm just a bit leery of it at the moment.

I totally agree Micheal! Too many of these little "apps" can be tampered with.......no..........I shall join the minority and let you others do the "beta" testing, so please keep us informed......

Looking good. TFT is not rated. :P
