I find WoT to be particularly useful on staff computers, especially for the staff that tend to go browsing around looking for subject ideas, graphics, etc. Those are the ones that experience the most amount of potential malware infections. WoT provides an excellent layer of awareness that the site the user is going to has been rated as potentially dangerous by others that have visited the same site.<br>
<br>I've been using it on my own computer for a few years now.<br><br>Chad<br><br clear="all">______________________________<br><b>Chad Neeper</b><br><font size="1">Senior Systems Engineer</font><br><br><b>Level 9 Networks</b><br>

Chad (Level9 Networks) showed this to me.<br>
Added it to my Opera and seems to work without any noticeable
slowdowns.<br>
It's been around for awhile so you may know of it.<br>
<br>
Web Of Trust at <a href="http://www.mywot.com/" target="_blank">http://www.mywot.com/</a><br>
<br>
It has browser extensions to help identify suspicious sites.<br>
It is advisory only, sites are not blocked.<br>
<br>
When using Google, there is a small colored circle to the right of a
site.<br>
Green is good, etc. Hovering the mouse over it will show symbols and
information.<br>
Symbol list shown at: <a href="http://www.mywot.com/en/support/symbols" target="_blank">http://www.mywot.com/en/support/symbols</a><br>
<br>
Any site marked RED will show a WARNING popup when accessed, even by
going directly to it.<br>
The warning has a click box to continue on.<br>
<br>
WOT will probably be added to all (staff & patron) PC’s.<br>
<br>
Downloads available for Firefox, Google, Chrome, Internet Explorer,
Safari, Opera and Bookmarklet for others.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
