    Weird drop-down bar warning?

    It is like the active x download bars...if that makes any sense?

    It has a red circle, says "WOT Warning: This site has a poor reputation." and to the right has a button that says "Rating details" and a close button.
    When I click on the rating button it gives the normal site details pop-up, but when I move the mouse the whole thing disappears.

    Weirdest thing is that most sites have full green rating.
    The bar is even popping up as I am typing this! The WOT home page too.

    I think It may have started up after I received an email from "support@mywot.com"
    which seemed legit and I only clicked on the twitter link.

    Please let me know if this is a function of WOT going crazy or something else.
    How do I make it stop?

    Hm, that sounds weird. Did I understand it correctly - WOT is giving you a false positive on EVERY site you visit? Does the black warning screen also show up? If yes, what domain name is displayed on it?

    Re: Weird drop-down bar warning?

    Did you have multiple tabs open at the same time when this happened? Old version of the Firefox add-on has one issue: if tabs are changed very fast the warning could go to the wrong tab. The issue has been fixed and it has been send to the Mozilla addons, but they haven't approved it yet.

    Please download our latest update for the add-on. As i said It has not yet been approved by Mozilla community, but I can assure that it is ok. It should fix the issue you are experiencing.

      Yes

      I've been using the 4/14 version for a while now and it's working just fine.
