when you see a news item or warning about a bad site! best not put the url address in a thread, may lead other to see what its all about anyways

[Guest001]

Crikey, won't do that again.

[Steve]

need more info. went to the link, it's just a search engine. can you explain the risk?

[Guest001]

Add On in Firefox (IE?) called WOT. A community based reporting site with hyperlinked visual indicators in Google Search pages.
Look carefully at the urls in the screens

Thanks for the heads up

[Steve]

checked out that info: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/icrawl.org

still dont see what is malicious or anything to do with xfire? sry i know you're trying to give a heads up but i just like to understand things.

never heard of WOT before but i can see it's a popular site, i just don't like it's rating system, no explanation of why things are marked poorly, hmpf :/
