There are different opinions about WebRep.
Some users, like you and me, do not trust in reputation features.
Others, want to know what others think and for them it’s useful and reliable.
I agree with Tech it is as it is in it’s present form basically useless. However in the future avast will incorporate whitelist/blacklist into the WebRep making it more of a useful security feature. Hopefully it will be part of avast v. 7.0.xxx.
Go ahead. Take users’ votes as technical advice will give you what you’re looking for.
Reputation services aren’t security. Just a feel of being a sheep following the others…
i use both wot and webrep,but not for security -because as some have mentioned they aren’t really effective in that department- rather to give me a general idea of a site’s usefulness or lack thereof,just a general,raw idea.
for security you’ll need something more serious,addons like avg linkscanner,m86security secure browsing,or the 1 i use,bitdefender trafficlight.
