I came across this little tool a while ago and have found it most useful in figuring out when a site is legitimate and worth a visit when googling. It also works when yahooing and msning. :-)
This simple but effective software is installed as a plug-in with either FireFox and now IE. When installed you get a small coloured icons on search results from Google, Yahoo or MSN. The colour identifies when a site has been checked and thought to be legitimate, when a site has not been checked or when a site is either probably not, or definitely not trustworthy.
Site Adviser also places an identifier on the task bar to identify the trustworthiness of the site that you are currently viewing and can identify if the site spams users who register. The information is collected by reports form the user base, checked made by volunteers, and a few automated test.
The software can be downloaded from the Site Advisor web site that can also be reached from the official McAfee web site.
