Protect your computer with Web of Trust
Web of Trust (WOT) is a people-driven security tool that warns Internet users about dangerous and suspicious websites. WOT has hundreds of thousands of users and safety ratings of 20 million websites, with over 1 million rated for child safety due to adult content.
WOT is a free browser add-on that works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. Mozilla has included WOT on their Mozilla recommended add-ons list. A bookmarklet for Safari and Opera is available.
WOT gets it site reputation data from the user community in combination with trusted sources such as listings from Phishtank. Reputation data is recalculated every 30 minutes, and is based on standards of trustworthiness, vendor reliability, privacy and child safety. WOT ratings are especially useful when it comes to online shopping and child safety where human input is crucial.
- Trustworthiness – The “poor” rating indicates Internet scams like lottery or identity theft risks, credit card fraud, phishing, spyware, adware, malware or computer viruses. The site may obtain a rating of “unsatisfactory” if it contains annoying advertisements, excessive pop-ups, or content that makes the browser crash.
- Vendor reliability – Rates whether the site is safe for buying and selling, or for business transactions in general. A “poor” rating indicates possible fraud or a bad shopping experience.
- Privacy – Tells whether the site owner can be trusted, if it’s safe to supply an email address, and download files. A “poor” rating indicates spam, adware, or spyware.
- Child safety – Indicates whether the site contains age-inappropriate material of a sexual, hateful, or violent nature, or content that encourages dangerous or illegal activities.
WOT ratings are shown on Google, Yahoo!, Gmail, Wikipedia, Digg, del.icio.us, AOL, MSN and other popular sites. WOT works with Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers. The user interface comes in 10 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Swedish or Finnish.
