It doesn't know if some sites are safe or not.

Excellent site about any aspect of information technology. Good reviews, news etc., reliable, informative, comprehensive.

Contains audio advert virus. This malware takes control over your audio system causing potential system or hearing damage. All responsible web sites have begun to stop this behavior- not zdnet!

Good tech-oriented site.

This site is a good site for very helpful articles, and it is safe for children, however, Adblock Plus blocked 29 ads and trackers on this site. Seems a little overkill on ads and trackers. I mean, if ABP blocks one or two, no big deal. Once it gets into the double or even triple digits of things being blocked, that's when it gets suspicious.

The content is pretty good, but the interface design is awful.
Helpful
One of the leading tech news website that covers all the latest tech news, provides thorough device reviews and so on.

Poor user experience, I really dislike the way this site navigates and the painful process of using the back button - definitely will avoid this website until they improve my user experience!
Helpful
Seems ok, had no problems with the site to date. Other users seem to be getting on ok too! I do use a blocker for ad's all the same.
Helpful
One of the most popular informative resources that publishes articles on various tech topics.

Found the site to be ok however full of annoying ads
Helpful
For a reported above board site, they seem to rely on cross scripts, pop-up ads and other garbage. Tell you what, there are plenty of other tech sites out there that do not follow that process.

Seems to be an ok sight for computer news and information.  However, there are some occasional ads and pop-ups that try to convince users to subscribe to newsletters.  Note that I have not subscribed to the newsletters, so I cannot evaluate the effectiveness or security of Znet.com's email servers or mailing list policies.

Good site. Easy UI and no annoying popups . Good one for IT Professionals
Helpful
LOTS of scripts. And, it doesn't seem to run will without them.
Helpful
I am giving them a very mixed rating for the following reasons: Positive: I like much of their content. Negative: They have excessive scripts and XSS in the background to block. You also have to block the Yahoo script or else you will get some incredibly sleazy "sponsored content" ads appearing in the background for things like people search scams.
