You laugh in the face of spyware and adware. Your practically clairvoyant knowledge of the Web allows you to distinguish between safe sites and those that pose potential danger. (We suspect that you may also know which soda machines might steal your money before you drop a quarter.) Our hats off to you.

Not bad. You avoided some sites that would have plagued you with spyware and adware, but you chose others which could put your PC at risk. Think of it as walking along on a tightrope, where one wrong step could plunge you into danger. Wouldn't you like to have someone by your side for safety? SiteAdvisor can help guide you so you stay safe online.

Not as good as i wanted to be but it's fine with me.
I always avoid Flash sites anyway (unless i truley know they are trusted..)

Nice find

.

**Siouxsie** · 07-15-2006, 03:46 AM

I got 4/8. I don't care though, because I format my HD every month for EXTRA SPEED!

TPTaylor · 07-15-2006, 05:58 AM

Haven't had spyware for over half a year. Haven't even needed to scan for a while. I'm always telling my friends how to clean it up.
Siouxsie, that seems a little excessive. I would find that extremely annoying to reformat every month. I find it annoying if I have to do it at all.

**Siouxsie** · 07-15-2006, 06:01 AM

It's a lot better for the PC. Doesn't just fix spyware problems.

I'm can actually remember once quitting CSS because my FPS had dropped by 5, formatting the PC and playing again :\ Wasted saturday tbh.

I got the lyrics one wrong due to pure lazyness. I looked at the windows and one of them had those yellow bars on top, like when something is trying to install an activeX thingy on your PC. I didn't bother enlarging the thumbnail and it turns out that the yellow bar was actually harmless.

The rest were easy though.

I didn't bother enlarging the thumbnail and it turns out that the yellow bar was actually harmless. The rest were easy though. Spoiler for Answers + explanations: Q1 = A2Z screensavers is bad. Lack of file size on one of the downloads means additional files can be added and you wouldn't know if that was normal or not. Q2 = Smiley source is bad. It tells you that additional crap is going to come with the download, right under the big pink rectangle. Q3 = TotallyFunFreeStuff is bad, the other site had a forum which makes it look a bit friendlier. Also the word Free is mentioned too many times to seem legit. Q4 = AngryLyrics is bad. I just based this guess off the word 'partner' Q5 = BearShare offers a sponsor version, so that is bad Q6 = eMule is open source, if it is open source then how can it come with crap? Most users will see it and get annoyed, they can remove that code and compile again just as easily. Q7 = Blubster. No obvious clues on the page. I've never heared of it before so it must be riddled with crap. Q8 = Lol Kazaa, everyone probably had this installed at one point. Ever wonder why there were so many Lite versions floating around?
