Web Of Trust (WOT) helps you stay secure while surfing the Internet sites and the links you are likely to visit when searching for information. WOT warns you about risky websites before you even enter the site to protect yourself from being infected with malicious scripts and programs. You just download and install WOT and it integrates with your favorite browser. Best of all, it’s free!

In the example above, searching for "warez" in Google reveals several websites with some of them marked with the red ring (which lets you know that it is a risky website). The websites with a green ring after the title in the search results says it is safe to visit.

If you try to enter a risky website, WOT will warn you of its WOT rating.
