WOT (Web of Trust) for Internet Explorer: The Ultimate Website Reputation and Review Service

In today's digital age, the internet has become an integral part of our lives. We use it for everything from shopping to socializing, from research to entertainment. However, with the vast amount of information available online, it can be difficult to determine which websites are trustworthy and which ones are not. This is where WOT (Web of Trust) comes in.

WOT is a website reputation and review service that helps you make informed decisions about whether to trust a website or not when you are searching, shopping or surfing online. It simply shows website reputations as traffic lights next to search results when you use Google, Yahoo!, Bing or any other search engine. Icons are also visible next to links in social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and email services like Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, as well as other popular sites like Wikipedia.

The traffic light system used by WOT is simple yet effective. A green traffic light means users have rated the site as trusted and reliable, red warns about potential threats and yellow indicates that you need to be cautious when using a site. These ratings are based on feedback from millions of users worldwide who rate websites based on their personal experiences.

But WOT doesn't stop there - clicking the traffic light icon opens up the website scorecard where you can find out more information about a website's reputation and other users' opinions. This includes details such as whether the site has been flagged for spamming or phishing attempts.

In addition to user-generated ratings, WOT also uses third-party sources such as malware databases to warn you about malicious software and other technical threats that you might encounter while browsing a particular site.

One of the best things about WOT is that it encourages community participation - anyone can share their experiences by rating sites themselves. This helps make the internet a safer place for everyone by providing valuable feedback on potentially dangerous websites.

WOT has received widespread recognition in both mainstream media outlets such as The New York Times, CNET, PC World; tech blogs including Kim Komando show; Tech Republic; PC Welt among others; making it one of the most trusted tools available today for safe browsing experience.
