Im going to try it again just to see if i can nut out the the issue with me getting different results on searches as i do like the whole concept of it.
There was a discussion on Wilders Security about Bitdefender Traffic Light not being “that” reliable about “ratings”. It gave about always green lights… Hey, it’s still “Beta”! But it’s blocking and stopping malicious sites and malware sites are renowned. : http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=295337&page=14
I have that extension in GoogleChrome and I use it additionally to avast Webrep, WOT and webutation.
It has found issues on sites other scanner did miss. But it is as with all web rep extensions and DrWeb’s AV Link Checker as well, you like to have them inside the browser or you would rather stay without.
Just as with dashboard lights, some are minimalists, where other are not. By the way I like the “click to show” function of the Traffic Light Interface and bitdefender’s website scan is renowned, and is part of the online VT URL analysis tool,
I agree…but I browse carefully…I don’t download any thing unknown…I got no credit cards…Just a gaming card and my college card…
Yup, I have this habit of install quite a number of pre alpha and beta softwares but then its a valid application.
But then I am half wrong…not fully wrong…just saying
I still think using Hostsman + Avast Shield + WebRep + MBAM Web block function+ Firefox and NoScript or Opera which is powered by AVG is pretty decent web protection…
Yeah, in the end, it differs from user to user…

By the way, currently testing Comodo 5.8 Beta…Hoping to find a blame

Your comments on this topic are very convincing and I installed Bitdefender Traffic Light again. But I must say that there is one site where this extension is not working. It is http://www.mail.ru/ I can’t even see the Traffic Light’s button there.
It would be good if avast could impliment the same idea with webrep as bitdefender did with this program in the way that they use the drop down tab rather than one big toolbar with nothing on it but webrep.
Hmm…I see Big Bang as G-D speaking ‘Let there be light’ and so on…but I wish no one replied to this because I don’t want myself to drag my feet into Evolution vs Creationism debate…
But i guess, my choice of example was poor…but still, there is a probability for everything…thats what Statistics taught me…
Well, for Comodo 5.8 beta, I’d blame you because Comodo is stronger than Windows(interferes)!!! : It made fail all my critical important Windows Updates of July and by getting rid of it I solved the problem swearing they wouldn’t get me again! 8)
For the BITDEFENDER TRAFFIC LIGHT EXTENSION BETA, anybody has noticed the advice on download pages about THE TOOLBAR ACCESSING PRIVATE INFORMATION DATA ??? It’s a serious CON I have but when you think of it it’s Bitdefender and it’s an extension that has to do it to protect us while surfing. Otherwhise, it should not interfere with my speed.
