Post by: Mr.Agent on June 23, 2009, 12:55:33 PM
Hi there i have seen this on some website and Orbasoft used the same gui of Spyware Doctor of PC Tools so all is explain for why i did say dangerous on the thread so have a happy reading.

Thank you and be secure.

Mcafee SiteAdvisor is usless!

WoT is OK but too subjective. 

I prefer Finjan SecureBrowsing for XP but unfortunatly it does not work on Windows 7 yet:

So wat now?..^^

I visited the website and it "looks" fine...

WOT flagged it red....site advisor marked it "?"....

So is it a bad or good software?^^
