Another valuable internet security tool

Just wanted to pass on a new tool to keep web surfers safe (or least safer). It's Site Advisor ( http://wwwlsiteadvisor.com ) It was developed by a group of MIT engineers in an effort to provide a safer surfing environment. The program is small and, once installed, it displays an icon for each site indicating safe, caution or extra caution. Search engine results have an icon for each site. They even provide details showing results from their tests. The details for a greencheck mark (safe site) states "we've tested and found this site to be safe" but a red "X" lists links to red site, popups, and downloads found. It sure helps when deciding which sites to visit or avoid. They even offer a short test to see if you can tell a safe site from one full of spyware
