Share links this way...krunch it

Hi malware fighters,

Go here: http://krunchd.com/krunch
You can make your own shortened url to an otherwise illegible address,

Making the short URL is simple. There are many services for this.
The problem is that many places don’t wan’t you to use a shortened URL in your posts.

Hi bob3160,

Shouldn’t you ask for a WOT review, even “krunched” you have the bad WOT reputation ;D

polonus

WOT doesn’t do reviews. I’ve asked for so many that I’m blue in the face…
They prefer to use unqualified user reviews. This is the main reason why their service
is as unreliable as it is. >:(

WOT is about as reliable as AV-Comparatives.

Hi bob3160,

I do not know why people are still defending WOT when they have the reliable service of finjan’s that does a real scan of your search request and is far, far more reliable. Well it has now merged with Secure Web Gateway: http://www.m86security.com/

For checking URL live: http://www.m86security.com/resources/url-analysis.asp

finjan add-on: http://securebrowsing.finjan.com/ (for IE and Fx)
* Search Engines: Google, Yahoo, Live (msn)
* Advertising systems: Google Adsense
* Online email applications (AJAX-based): Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail
* Popular Websites: Twitter, MySpace, Digg, Slashdot, Blogger

WOT is a much hyped thing, some Fx developers even advise the use of it as a reputation scanner, better would be to have the complete meta scan of URLVoid available inside the browser for search queries before you click…But such a rare animal does not exist yet, the avast shields are the best next thing 8)
I do not like to use SiteAdvisor any longer after it was obtained by McAfee, and DrWeb’s URL checker add-on became too unrelianle (does not scan deep enough)
Still have the Netcraft toolbaar there (also nice for passive recon purposes, I have a couple of interesting extensions for that that I work through Google Translate - Passive Recon, Malware Search, Wappalyzer and Ghostery),

As a guide it is file, but not for slavish abeyance.

There is no way I could use finjan because it does a live scan and would slow searches too much on dial-up.

Hi DavidR,

Then with your connection Google Instant must have been disabled by default, because on dial-up the load of 6 pages of search result content would be too much for you. Well all providers suffer now, where Google adjusted it’s own backbone system for the added bandwidth load and the new Google Data Bomb,

I don’t find google instant that useful as you have to go through page after page after page at 10 posts per page.

I normally have my search settings set at 50 per page and most are found within that first page. But since google instant has been introduced, even with it disabled I can’t seem to get back to 50 hits per page.

Unfortunately I’m presented with the attached results when using the finjan link:
