Hi malware fighters,

Trying out the scandoo.com ScanSafe searching page a message pops up that the scandoo service will be interrupted.

I know there were issues with Google and there was a period you had to fill out recaptcha’s to get to the service at all. Sad it was discontinued this way (for the time being I hope).
What alternative will you all use? WOT inside chrome browsers, finjan, the DrWeb’s av url checker plug-in, web page security report (why is not that presented in a similar fashion as scandoo was?).
Questions, questions???
Anyone know the reasons behind this decision?
Or the critical notes here: http://www.itproportal.com/security/hackersblog/article/2006/5/24/well-perhaps-scandoo-needs-some-work/

I gave up on WOT as it was too user biased.

Finjan does not work on Windows 7.

I use Browser Defender™ by Threat Expert Ltd:

By PC Tools you mean ?

It indicates Threat Expert at the bottom of the page who are part of PC Tools who where borged by Symantec:

It only works with Firefox and/or IE.


According to the quote, it should be back after some down time for improvements & new features.

We have decided to remove the service for the time being whilst we make some improvements and add some new features based on your feedback.

I know I gave them a few suggestions in the past.
