Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Well, look here: Quttera gives it as clean, Norton Safe Web also. Probably they have never heard about BestAV affilates.
See these read-ups on these roques: http://www.xylibox.com/2011/10/chk4scancom-private-av-checker.html (link article poster = Steven K)

So users here are warned not to venture out there....
but I was informed by my good friend Pondus, the site is down now...
