I know it's been mentioned before but for anyone new site advisor is free,tests sites for rogue activity and pops a little green box at the bottom right hand corner of Firefox if the site is OK (red for rogue activity, grey for untested) get yours today it's
http://www.siteadvisor.com/
A good addition to your security arsenal

Thanks for the post. I hadn't been aware of this addon before. Took a look and liked what Site Advisor has to offer.
Added on Firefox so far so good.
Thanks, Noodle.

Hi all,
rather than start another post I'd thought I'd add on to this one as it's short!
I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 with NoScript, AdBlock Plus, British dictionary, DownThemAll, IE Tab, Tab Scope, TinyUrl Creator and Met Office weather gadget add-ons. Mcafee Site Advisor keeps on failing to load, so I have to keep going to download it and install it and restart FF too often!!
Does this happen to you / got any ideas!!
Thanks, Speedee

Hi, one idea is to use : Web of Trust (WOT) Instead of McAffee Site adviser. I moved onto WOT a long time ago and prefer it to Site Adviser. I guess you'll have to judge for yourself though.

Drop it, and see if you really miss anything worthwhile.

I thought I'd clear up my past problem, it is now resolved!
It has been working OK just lately so I think, probably, McAfee have updated their software!! Mind you I'm using FF 3.0.3 now so it may have been them!!
And FF 3.0.4 is out, so when the mirror is working I will get that too!!
