I tend to be put off continuing missions when I get WOT warnings - what's your experience of the value of these? I use Interclue whenever possible to check out the site, but this isn't always possible. (Note: for those unfamiliar with them, these are Firefox add-ons; WOT assesses qualities of sites and Interclue gives a preview, wherever possible, without one's having to actually visit) |

I've taken over 2000 missions...and I've never run into an 'unsafe' site.

From my experience, WOT has proven to be pretty worthless. Its a peer review system, and who ever these "peers" are have rather nebulous standards for what is "dangerous" or "untrusted". And of course, there are rarely commented reasons or justifications for given ratings. |

I'm still quite new so I haven't seen much yet. But i don't think its nice to get pop ups . I don't like when the missions don't end. I'm there waiting for the next step and it never appears not sure why. |

If you don't know it already, to protect yourself against malicious scripts, install NoScript (it's a FF addon). Once you get used to using it, it's indispensable. I use it all the time... slows me down a bit, but hey I feel safer. |

I am pretty safe since I have a firewall and a Mac. Don't install anything you don't trust, no matter where it is from. |

I am guessing FF3, but it could be a 2 birds, 1 cup video file. |

I've gotten my share of porn portals that weren't marked NSFW but no viruses. |
