I used Mcafee's Site Advisor for a few days but the program started malfunctioning, so I uninstalled it. I thought it was a good idea to have a program that alerted you to unsafe websites.
I've now read somewhere about Firetrust's Sitehound. Has anyone used this program or can give some advice about whether it's a legitimate program?
