Surfing the Web is a blast. There are so many cool sites, videos and programs to find. There are also a bunch of malicious sites out there. Learning to avoid them is important.
Having quality security software is a start. But it’s easy to be fooled by a fraudulent site. You might be tricked into downloading something. This can easily circumvent your security software.
WOT (Web Of Trust) will help you avoid bad sites altogether. The Firefox add-on allows users to rate sites. Those ratings are shown on most popular search engines. Results feature a green, yellow or red icon. Stay away from red sites.
You can also right-click any link to check it’s rating. This works in e-mail and on your favorite sites. If you click on a malicious link, WOT will pop up a warning. You can navigate away before any harm is done.
