McAFee Site Advisor 是一个非常好用的网站,当不确定某网站是否安全时,只需把网址输入,就会出现那网站的Rating了。红色表示非常危险的网站,下载的东西非常可能有毒,或是专门phishing的网站,不然就是连接到太多红色网站;青色表示网站大致安全;黄色介于青和红,需小心,通常是时常spam人或连接其他红色网站。灰色则是尚未测试的网站。除了官方的rating外,也不妨看一看其他使用者对网站的评语,这样可以更深入了解那网站是否危险。
使用Internet Explorer 或 Firefox的读者,也可以download它的addon (IE的, Firefox的),这样你上每一个网站是都会自动显示颜色,不须一个个到Site Advisor网站输入。而且使用google 和yahoo 等search时,旁边也会显示网站的颜色。
注意:Rating有时并不准,仅供参考,最重要的是自己要留意网站是否有可疑字眼、行动等。且有许多中国网站被评为红色或黄色,是不是真的危险就见仁见智吧。

i just read the negative reviews from dl.com ...... u wanna c them ?
about the negative comments...
don't read anything that's not written this year, especially about not being able to install on Firefox 3, cos I have it on my FF3.
About the skepticism on the accuracy, I understand that. Hmm, it means you can't take their ratings for granted. Try not to depend 100% on it. Do note that while some green sites may turn dangerous over time, the dangerous sites (red) rarely change. So if you see a red site, you should really steer clear. If it's green, practise caution. Always be careful on the web, unless you use a sandbox(more on sandboxes later)Much, much later.
