For anybody that is even marginally savvy this isn't going to help all that much and there are some better solutions. But considering it's price (free) and relatively easy to use interface, I like it for people like my parents. No matter what I do or say I can't seem to get it through to them that nothing at all on the internets is to be trusted. Even though I have them using WOT in FF it's nice to see that it's available for IE as well. Hopefully it will mean more accurate ratings on sites, which is sometimes a bit suspect these days.

Certainly, "nothing at all on the internets is to be trusted." [sic] Except for the sites you do trust, and there have to be some or you wouldn't use the internets at all. Also, trust is not black and white, it's a sliding scale. Of course. Please name the "better solutions".

This software has become more of a problem than a solution. It's giving false warnings and showing sites as safe when they aren't.

Extra security that everybody should have and use. It's better to be save then sorry. You'll be warned if the site is to be trusted or not. Might give contradicted information in compare to other software. Witch may confuse the user. A plug and play tool. No tweaks or configurations are needed.

Effectively blacklists known bad sites and notifies/prevents you from visiting rogue sites that are unsafe. Works great with Opera 11.01 None at this time. Another layer of protection for free!
