LinkScanner vs SiteAdvisor
« on: June 09, 2008, 06:07:10 AM »
Which one guys? currently all the family PC's I help to maintain and keep protected I have installed SiteAdvisor for Firefox as well as IE7 but I was wondering if Linkscanner or if it is better to do a double approach and use both?

I use Finjan on both Firefox and IE.
I think SiteAdvisor has privacy concerns, if I remember correctly.
I think, for I've read, that Linkscanner has a better 'detection'.

Thanks Tech, I'll probably switch over to Linkscanner then

Hi Justin_xp,

I have Fx 3.0 RC2 here, and I use finjan inside together with WOT. Good combination,
