I already know about the controversy with wot.
I was saying on 1 computer it is okay on another computer it is not okay. Surely something is not right.
It’s something for you to check. It’s your computers that showed different results…
If you get different results first check to make sure you’re comparing apples to apples.
Not sure I follow
Either it is a bad add on or isn’t, might be different computers, but why should there be different results.
After all Avast should pick it up etc whether using win 10 win 7 any system it works on
For the WOT add-on it is a reputation question. At a certain point an interim Helsinki stakeholder that owned WOT at the time sold all user data to the highest bidder. There was quite a scandal about this, when this information became known. In such cases reputation management cannot cure a disaster. In the mean time WOT is back, but it probably will never recover from this ‘smear’. Rather a pity as it had an awful lot of good user input before the “beans were spilled” so to say
WOT for IE is older version and it doesn’t contain tracking code.
Smart scan (Browser Cleanup) doesn’t detect them as bad reputation add-ons.
I guess the question is whether you trust WOT as company or not ?
Hi abruptum
I didn’t say what versions I was using as my question was about Avast say one thing an one computer and something else on another computer.
I am using the latest versions of WOT, as I always try to keep everything up to date.
