McAfee Site Advisor

And extension for Internet Explorer and Firefox shows us through a colored bar (green, yellow or red at the bottom right in the browser), if the site on which we are sailing is found safe, suspect or even dangerous.

This can be useful if you want to shop online, whether you simply want to download something and would like to know more about the reliability of the site where we are.

The opinion that we are given the reliability of a site should not be taken as absolute truth for sure, but in many cases can be useful.

Hitfreeware.blogspot.com has already reported on a program very similar to this, the latter is based on the opinions of its users, while McAfee Site Advisor is based on the work of one of the most famous companies in the field of virus protection (each of the two methods has advantages and disadvantages). Nothing prevents, however, to use both.
