Hi Dwarden,
I understand that it is purely an informative service, but it signals things that other services do not consider, like the amount of spam you may receive after posting on a site, the people that started it, a couple of MIT people, wanted to map the Internet for malware aspects the normal protective software does not alert to. I use it in combination with the DrWeb hyperlink pre-scanner plug-in, which is protective but only in alerting
to malware vectors like malware html, scripts and malware code (signatures). For information you could also use Alexa, but I think you cannot trust it, because it has a reputation as adware itself. Why anti adware & anti-spyware software firms have not this beautiful free service like DrWeb's, that would be so welcome for further in-browser security before the fact or is it likely that people that earn gigantically from adware not allow eradicating it (greedy webmasters, spammers, scumware sellers) are resistant to this idea?
