Here’s a great (and free) piece of software. SiteAdvisor is a plugin (it works with Internet Explorer or Firefox) that works with your Google searches and checks the results against its own database. If the database shows that the site is safe, a green check mark will appear next to the listing in the Google search results. Other markings will show up for less secure sites. If you move the mouse pointer over the check, it will tell you what it knows about the site. It is a small application (only about 400K), so it downloads and installs quickly. If you are trying to stay secure and have often wondered how safe some of the sites you see on your Google search results really are, then you need this software. I’ve been using if for a couple of days and have been very pleased with it.
