If you give a Web site your e-mail address, will you get spammed? Can you safely download files from a site you just found? Will clicking a search-result link dazzle you with endless pop-ups?
The free SiteAdvisor add-in for Internet Explorer and Firefox, tells you if the site you’ve surfed to is bad, and backs up its rating with hard facts. It also checks every site found in a Google, Yahoo! or MSN search and overlays its rating icons on the results. Following its recommendations will help you avoid spam, spyware, and pop-ups.
Pros:
Rates Web sites by real-world testing for spam, bad downloads, pop-ups, and more. Overlays ratings on results from popular search engines. Ratings backed by hard data.
Cons:
When search engines produce 50 to 100 results per page, result ratings can be slow to appear.
