WOT Partnering with Panda Security
« on: August 10, 2009, 05:10:19 AM »
WOT is partnering with Panda Security.

Does this mean we have to discontinue using WOT and use SiteAdvisor?

It might be easier to get an answer straight from the horse's mouth...

You'll know it's from Panda when you see the Panda avatar as a trusted source on a WOT scorecard. WOT users will also receive special offers for extended trials of Panda anti-virus products periodically. Panda customers can complement their virus protection with WOT's safe browser tool from the Panda-WOT download site .

It looks like they're just combining the two technologies.

Whilst it should mean nothing more that scythe944 said, if it meant anything else I would just drop it, there is no way I would go back to the seriously flawed (read out of date site assessments) SiteAdvisor.

It's not much more than a distribution agreement, AFAIK.

Nothing would make me use SiteAdvisor and I'll stick with Finjan.
