      Uninstall it. Most browsers have built-in phishing filters. That and common sense should keep you safe.

      WOT is Web Of trust, is a part of the internet security. An addon for FF and IE. Warns you about risky websites that try to scam, delivers malware or send spam.
      Maybe it slows down the pages a little, i haven't used yet.

    WOT claims to have algorithms that warn people if they "try to scam, delivers malware or send spam". But it's not true. They have a few power users who approve and disapprove websites depending on what they think.

    "Warns you about risky websites that try to scam, delivers malware or send spam." We now know that this is not true. Technology has moved on and there are better ways to measure real reviews such as API's from large market places etc. The algorithms they say run in the background is actually powers users who give anything based on their own opinions kind of like a private filter. Webmasters who are innocently looking for a security partner are better off going with Macfee, Norton, Symantec etc. In Fact you are better off as a webmaster never submitting your site to WOT if you care about your business. Have a look at this automated Algorithms making a decision and conclusion about based on product - observe as a moderator gets involved in the process and does not anything.
