    Being able to disable WOT without being logged in........ Please help

    “Why are you able to disable WOT without being logged in? All you have to do is go to tools then WOT then uncheck enable, thats it? I was wondering why is it sooo easy to enable it? Please help me... Is there a way to take it off of my tools? Thanks Samantha”

    Re: Being able to disable WOT without being logged in

    Anyone can disable or uninstall any add-on you have installed in your Firefox. We have a quicker menu option to disable the add-on, because sometimes it's convenient to temporarily disable the add-on without having to restart the browser. The add-on isn't meant to stop users from accessing websites, it's only meant to inform them about the site's reputation. If a user is determined to go to a website despite its reputation, there's always a way to bypass the add-on.

        There might be, but a determined user can bypass any browser add-on by simply disabling it or using another browser. The real solution is to educate users not to enter unsafe websites.

    RE: Being able to disable WOT without being logged in........ Pl

    I want, like Sammi, to be able to keep the darned icon off my tool bar. It takes up space that I need for something else. Even when I use the "View" + "Toolbars" + "Customize" and pull that worrisome pest off the tool bar, the very next time I do anything, make any kind of move, click of the mouse, anything on the Internet, it pops it's rump right back up there on my tool bar again!
