[QUOTE="SpiderWeb, post: 959693, member: 88686"] I've been thinking about this alot recently. And in conclusion (lol), I had to ask myself when was the last time I ran into a malware website? Honestly maybe somewhere in the 2000s. I have to make a serious effort to find a malware site that hasn't already been filtered out by Google, stopped out by nextDNS, blocked by Firefox or uBlock Origin. You see there are many layers and I think if you have layers of security. I think the best way to vet is to use brain.exe. Is the site unfamiliar? Navigate away, don't even click. Stick to familiar reputable sites, don't click on Spam. Don't seek out illicit sites. I do not like WOT, Traffic Light or Malwarebytes. They give you little security in exchange for sending a list of all the websites you are visiting. That's not a good deal at all. [/QUOTE]
