Besides its users, WOT uses hundreds of trusted sources such as phishing site listings to keep you protected against rapidly spreading online threats.

  WOT for Internet Explorer

  Highly Useful!

  Pros: WOT is part of my safety armory when I surf. It provides safety ratings for websites and shows them by adding a tiny color coded icon next to the search results. It also gives a warning if you are about to enter a risky site. What I like most is that the ratings are accurate and well up to date. It is also fast and doesn't slow down surfing.
