McAfee TrustedSource... not to trusted.

I like WOT. Because people rate sites, not only stupid computers.

I see some people boo-hing WOT and praising McAfee TrustedSource/SiteAdvisor.
Truth is... I see more and more good sites with bad ratings on TrustedSource.

http://www.trustedsource.org/query/malekal.com
which is the french personal website of a guy who does a *lot* of good work regarding Windows security.

or http://www.trustedsource.org/query/sk1project.org
which is a very good vector drawing program.

mmm... I don't trust McAfee.
And you cannot have any details on the reasons of their rating.
I don't know how they rate sites. My guess is that they aggregate several sources, including DNS-BH (thus the sk1project.org misclassification).

I really prefer WOT.

This was my rambling of the day.

Trusted Source is laughable

Infamous spammer Freelotto spammed McAfee alot, according to their own charts, yet they rate it as Neutral.
lastmeasure, infamous shock site, Neutral
Laughable.
You'll Never Walk Alone
