Web of Trust (WOT) is a community dedicated to making the Internet safer for everyone. Savvy Internet users are aware that the threat from malware, spyware, identity theft and annoying spam is increasing. WOT provides an extra layer of protection that traditional security software can't. Our mission is to make your use of the Internet more secure by giving you an opportunity to share your experiences of websites and the services they offer.
The WOT addon for Firefox and Internet Explorer lets you see a site's ratings before you click on it. Our traffic-light style icons indicate, at-a-glance, whether a site can be trusted or not, and the Security scorecard provides you details behind the ratings and a place for you to give a rating of your own.
By joining the WOT community you can protect yourself and help others at the same time.
User ratings combined with information from numerous trusted sources provides the WOT community with up-to-date information on millions of sites. Registered members can exchange personal knowledge about websites: Can they be trusted? Are they safe to use? Do they deliver what they promise? If a site has a bad reputation, WOT will warn you before you visit it and save you a lot of trouble.
People who care about protecting themselves and their family and making the web a safer place to visit use WOT. Our membership consists of security professionals, technology experts, computer enthusiasts, educators, parents and responsible people from all over the world. Both individuals and organizations are welcome to join us. As a community member you can:
Our vision is to bring trust back to the web, and with your help we can achieve this.
