OK - was reading the Thread of Barose getting his WoW account hacked and that Maeve picked up a keylogger from a google search and I thought I should probably share this product I use.
Its free from McAfee and integrates into Firefox or IE, and is called McAfee SiteAdvisor. You can download it from www.siteadvisor.com/.
What does it do?
Well - its nothing spectaular but it will tell you if a site you on is known 'green' (good) questionable (yellow) bad (Red) or unknown (not tested / gray).
This is indicated by a little addon to your status bar in FF and its in the address bar if I remember correctly in IE.
Anyway - this is only part of the joy of this little application....
It also will flag (you can turn it off though not sure why you would want to) search result sites - it will show a little symbol next to the search result if the site is safe or not.... (See screenie)
Anyway - I use this at home and its got some enterprise applications too (like stopping clicking of a red site - but thats not available in the free version).
Anyway thought I would share.
