Mike Rochip Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Could be a good thing in the future. If you want this fucntionality now you could use site advisor:http://www.siteadvisor.com/ Thanks rridgely, I've been using that for some time now [on your recommendation] and I like it. Most of the warnings have been yellow and concern people giving the site their email address and then receiving unwanted offers. But once or twice the red warning came up and had good information about questionable downloads or links the site offered. Can't be too careful these days.

Moderators rridgely Posted August 8, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 8, 2006 The only issue I have with that program is that on red sites it just lets you go to the site. It dosen't bring up any kind of message alerting you to it or anything. So if you just happen to click a link on say a forum then oh well. Its a only a small gripe but still.
