Ever since I started using the net, whenever I read a post where someone had given a link to another site, if I thought it might interest me, I would clic on it. Many people have said this is not a good idea.

So now, I use another route. If that link interests me, I copy it and put it in google, where the McAfee Site Advisor clears it for any hidden bugs etc. If there is a green tick, I will proceed, if not, I stay away.

Would this be what you would recommend, after all, after 5 or so yrs, I'm still learning.
