SiteAdvisor protects you from a range of threats by using a simple traffic-light system. The button at the bottom of your browser changes colour depending on how the site you’re looking at ranks. If it’s safe, the button will be green, if it’s yellow you should exercise caution and if it’s red, you want to be getting out of there fast. Click the arrow next to the button and select View Site Details to see SiteAdvisor’s full report.The same colour scheme is also applied to search results, where a small circle appears next to each site indicating how safe it is.
SiteAdvisor does, on occasion, incorrectly flag up safe sites as being malicious, but it’s mostly very reliable and, after all, it’s better to be safe than sorry. The service is very popular and this broad user base helps to make it an invaluable addition to your security armoury.
