    I just started using Google Chrome a few days ago and I just noticed that McAfee's Site Advisor (the free version) does not work in this browser. I also run Internet explorer and Site Advisor does work. Does anyone know how I can make Site Advisor work in Google Chrome? Also, I just noticed the spell checker will not work either. How can I make it work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you do searches through Google, you'll see all links marked in green (safe), orange(so-so) and red (dangerous).
    Through Google, or not, if you click on any link anywhere and if it's marked by WOT as dangerous, a pop-up warning will open and you won't be able to go there unless you override the warning.

    As for spellchecker, I use tinySpell: http://tinyspell.numerit.com/
    It works in any application, not in browsers only.
    Chrome has also own spellchecker: http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95604

    Hi Markala,
    I've been using WOT for a long time now with no problems, the only thing that worried me was when a listed site has not been rated by WOT, only a gray ring is shown as the WOT rating.
    The answer is Dr WEB from HERE , available as a Firefox add-on.
    When a site that interests you is unrated by WOT, a right click on the URL, and a click on 'Check with DR WEB' starts a suspicious download check on the address, and the resultant window shows 'Clean' or 'Infected'. Removes a lot of worry!
