None. I have tried SiteAdvisor, WOT and Finjan. I found them to be inaccurate on labeling both the good, and the bad. I find WOT to be subjective and based to much on user opinions and not actual identified problems. Having said that, if I used one that would be the one I'd use.

I do on occasion just to compare, check some sites using the on-line checks at the SiteAdvisor, WOT and Browser Defender sites.

There's no "Other" but i use a tool that shows a ton of site metrics in the search results under each site.

It's not a security tool, and won't help with known legitimate sites that have been hacked/injected but overall it does an excellent job sorting the wheat from the chaff.

WOT, though like others have said, take the ratings with a grain of salt.

Is there a free version? :)

Don't think so - it's part of the FS IS2010 suite. I also hear it isn't included with the stand alone AV.

It shows ratings for search results as well as blocking access to 'dodgy' sites similar to WOT.

I removed AVG LinkScanner because of network problems. What a pity! :( I will give WOT a try :)

I agree, a real-time tool is a better choice. However, most of the AV contain a webshield nowadays :)

I voted 'none' because I have no main tool.

I use both SiteAdvisor and WOT. I also used LinkScanner however due to constant network timeouts with browsers I had to remove it.

None, I don't care for ratings. Besides, many of the sites I go to, hmm, hmm, are the kind that gets flagged often and we aren't talking malware here :)

Yesterday I entered a web page of a political party and WOT notified me: Warning! Page is not trustworthy! :what:

I think it's time to remove WOT from all machines, I can't stand that propaganda ... :thumbd:
