I call bull. don’t listen to these guys and their reviews on sites that review sites. Norton’s Safeweb is as good as it gets. I checked keylogger123 dot com on both sites and Norton’s checked out correctly having spyware on that site. That other site, Siteadvisor did not catch on to that.

BE WARNED.

Norton SafeWeb is a database driven service and gives false positives and false negatives. It’s a blacklist/blackmail service.

Based on the tests I ran, I wouldn’t trust Norton SafeWeb just yet. I had it check a couple well-known shit site, such as: s-y-s-n-e-t-s-e-c-u-r-i-t-y [dot] c-o-m (and dot net) …and it found no problems.

SiteAdvisor, on the other hand, scanned the sites & threw up warnings, because it found links pointing to malware & other well-known shit sites.

A couple of points –

The beta version of the toolbar is available as an add-on to the Norton Internet Security 2009 beta at the beta download page.

And you don’t have to register to write a review of a website, you can write reviews anonymously. It’s free and easy to sign up though, and then you can keep track of your reviews!
