I have installed this on all my PC's and I think it is serving me pretty well. It serves as a pretty good warning system. Any thoughts?

Hi naios
Using IE became a real hassle and quite a few years ago started using Firefox which is a better browser.
The WOT is good in my opinion. It's easy because Green means safe, yellow means view with caution. If the red circle appears, don't even think of going there!
It automatically downloads updates when they become available. I would certainly recommend the W O T to others.

I also use WOT, and I think it is a great tool.

However, be careful when relying on a tool like WOT. Sometimes it is easy to put too much faith in the tool.
For example--a site may be green simply because it hasn't been reported yet, or it may be red because a legitimate site is a target of a negative campaign (doesn't happen often but it does happen). You can always look at the scorecard for any site and see what went into the score.

The point is, even if you use the tool, you need to use common sense and be conscious of safety!
