    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.

    Title typo

    "McAfee TrustedSource... not to trusted. " ---> "McAfee TrustedSource... not so trusted. "

    Trusted Source is laughable

    http://www.trustedsource.org/query/freelotto.com
    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
