Sounds like a fine adjunct to basic computer security to protect newbies, casual surfers and anyone who doesn't use throwaway email addresses. It's not safe to roam the Net without a trusty sword these days. For the record, not even on the coldest nights would I trust a russian mafia's mail order bride site or the yakuza's cherry blossoms. This is what happens when the world's oldest profession unionizes.

WOT, Web of Trust, gets it information from two sources: from the user community (members can easily give site ratings) and hundreds of trusted sources such as phishing site listings, spam black lists etc. All this is processed by the system that calculates a reputation for each site twice every hour. </p> <p>WOT has four reputation components: overall trustworthiness, vendor reliability, privacy and child safety (adult content). You can easily customize your protection level in the settings. We don't want be your nanny, so you can easily tell the system to ignore child safety, and you won't miss any russian mail order bride sites. Take a closer look at <a href="http://www.mywot.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mywot.com</a> - WOT has information for almost 17 Million sites. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2354#post-15012 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 15:17:39 +0000 Archangel 15012@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Better be safe then sorry RM so order you one and let us know how she works out! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2354#post-14999 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 12:56:28 +0000 xboxgamer 14999@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>your right it sucks. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2354#post-14982 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 11:17:26 +0000 RunesageMagik 14982@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>LeKanaw, do you happen to know if WOT just scans for malware or if it acts as a cybernanny censor?

It uses too much system resources. I'm using Avast Home (Free) with Comodo (Free) as the firewall and Threatfire (Free). I believe you will find them pretty good and won't use as much of your PC's resources. But since you've got McAffee installed (don't know what you were using before) give it a whirl and see if your pleased. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2354#post-14870 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 00:35:20 +0000 xboxgamer 14870@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hey I'm in the us, and I got it to work fine...

Anyway, maybe it is only for the UK only, but I'm sure I'm not the only person from the UK that frequents this forum, and for all those that are p***** off about that - well all I can say is tuff. :P I found a similar problem when trying to get a registration number for the free O&#38;O products but as soon as I entered a bogus US address (from Fake Name Generator) they sent me the registration numbers immediately. So If they don't do it by detecting your ip address try <a href="http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/gen-male-en-uk.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/gen-male-en-uk.php</a> using your correct email address of course.</p> <p>K8 </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2354#post-14858 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 22:58:15 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 14858@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Unfortunately I can't use McAffee as it wont install due to a conflict with my present antivirus programs. I think it's the F-Secure one i use, which i have a subscription to for as long as my wife continues to lecture at the college she works for. They give all their staff a licence for F-Secure as well as other software such as windows and office. (not 2007 yet though) I would use as many AntiV softwares as I could as I'm sure they all have their own peculiarities. If it's free for a year, then I say "get it" unless you have the same problem as I have. The only MacAfee stuff I use is <strong>Site Advisor</strong> (freeware) at the moment, which does help to stop me going to some sites especially if there are green tagged sites available for the same stuff I'm looking for. '<strong><em>Better Safe than Sorry</em></strong>', though sometimes '<strong><em>nNothing ventured Nothing gained</em></strong>', lol.</p> <p>Thank's so much for posting details though.
