We are pleased and have warm, fuzzy feelings for the good people at Gizmo’s Freeware<\/a> for giving WOT the prestigious Gizmo’s Top Pick award in the “Best Internet Safety Check Freeware*” category. According to the editor, “This editor’s choice award is only given to the best product in its category so this is an honor, congratulations.”<\/p>\n

The Gizmo site is a community-based review site, where average users, and some advanced too, review and recommend all types of freeware – a Wiki for freeware. Founder, Ian “Gizmo” Richards, is the senior editor at the Windows Secrets newsletter, which recently published an article recommending WOT. We are feeling the love!<\/p>\n

We are honored to receive this award and have proudly displayed it on our download pages. Thank you Gizmo!<\/p>\n
