Warning about Dodgy Websites – Mywot.com
There are a lot of dodgy websites out there. Not dodgy as in my spelling but sites that are likely to try and infect your computer.
This site (mywot.com) provides a browser plug-in for Firefox that shows a green or yellow circle against websites found in searches. Wot is short for Web of Trust. Green are good guys, red are bad. for instance I was spammed by someone about a site called grouply.com. Mywot.com gives a warning about dodgy sites and lets you see comments from users. Out of 21 million websites covered, over a million are considered dodgy. This is what Firefox says about Grouply.com when I try to go there.
As you can see from the little badge in the top right hand corner, I’m happy to let the world know about Mywot.com. It was foundered two years ago by two Finnish students.
