Neat tool for surfing!

Every now and then, I come across something really neat that I like to share. For my friends who are not very computer-savvy, they seem to get tricked by pop ups or links offering to scan their computer for malware/adware, or clean their registry, etc. Usually they're scams. So... how does one tell if a website is legit or not?

Enter WOT - Web of Trust. It's a browser add-in, and beside every link it puts a rating - green for good, red for not good. You can click on the WOT symbol to see what other people are saying about it.

I loaded it in Firefox last week, and I've been so impressed, I've actually signed up on their forums, so that I can help rate as well.

Check it out - they also have a version that works with Internet Explorer. Click to find out more!
